Enjoy Truro

Black and gold colours will be filling the streets, along with Cornish flags and tartan as Truro joins all of Cornwall in celebrating our patron saint, St Piran, on the 5th of March.

Art in the City, our first major event of 2012 is taking place on the 2nd until the 14th of April. The event, which sees artists at work and their creations scattered throughout the city, celebrates Truro's art practices and aims to make art accessible to the whole community.

Valentine's Day on the 14th of February is just around the corner, but there is still time to spoil the special person in your life and give them perfect day! In Truro there are fabulous jewellers, florists, specialist card shops and many great restaurants to choose from. Explore Truro to see what's on offer and make sure that Valentine's Day 2012 is the best yet!

There is an intense build up to the Olympic Torch Relay which passes through Truro on the 19th of May, as event organisers will only know ten days before the event arrives of its exact route! The flame, which represents peace, unity and friendship will be lit in Greece - the birthplace of the Olympics, then travelling through Cornwall on its way to London. The exact route will be selected to highlight the best of Cornwall. About 100 Torchbearers, have been nominated by their peers for their inspirational lives and will carry the flame. The torch begins its UK journey at Land's End on Saturday the 19th of May and will come from Falmouth towards Truro and then onto Newquay

 

Truro is planning a whole host of events to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee during this summer, and the Cathedral will be at the heart of these events. The city will be embracing the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in style with many free events, from family fun days, music recitals, glamorous gala dinners to an amazing fireworks display!
