Enjoy Truro

The 2 week Art in the City festival in April, was a fantastic celebration of Cornish art and artists and is set to return again from the 2 - 14 April 2012.
The Drummer sculpture - a symbolic work by Tim Shaw that celebrates the spirit of a land and its people, was unveiled by Queen Drummer Roger Taylor in June.
The first Be Active Truro festival took place in August in the city centre and saw hundreds of people have a go at a new sport during the weeklong event. Be Active returns on 7 - 11 August 2012.
Music Truro returned for a fifth year last October with its popular Music Industry Forum and Cream of Cornwall showcase events. More recently the city played host to the public sector strikes, as hundreds of nurses, teachers and public sector workers alike peacefully protested as part of the national strikes throughout the streets of Truro in December.
The smell of mulled wine and sparkle of Christmas lights have barely left our homes. Once again Truro was transformed into a festive hub of merriment, events, markets and street entertainment to assist busy shoppers during the festive season - from the grand Victorian Market to Cornwall's best live stock filling Lemon Quay for a day at the Primestock show, Truro once again brought the festive spirit to life.

The Olympic Torch relay kick-starts its adventure in Cornwall and passes through Truro on May 19. The Queens Diamond Jubilee is the ideal opportunity to dust off the bunting and regal cake stands for more celebratory street parties and a dedicated bank holiday on June 5. Big plans are underway for this year's St Pirans Day celebrations on March 5, if you would like to be involved please email stpiransdaytruro@gmail.com
