Truro Festival 2016
The city�s annual cultural festival, which is funded and delivered by Totally Truro Business Improvement District (BID) features music, art, exhibitions, theatre, dance, comedy, film, literature and photography.
There will also be an abundance of art at the 2016 festival. Daily workshops featuring local illustrators, comic book illustrators, manga artists, screen print-makers and puppeteers will be on offer for children and adults in the festival hub on Lemon Quay. Street art is also a big favourite and the city's streets will be filled with creative flair once again.
The literary content of the festival also grows each year. For 2016, The Story Republic will be igniting the imagination through speakeasies for young writers, wordsmith sessions and more.
This year sees the launch of a three-year project for Truro Festival focusing on a forgotten Truronian from the 18th century. In his day, Samuel Foote was the first stand-up comedian and known as the funniest man in London. He was a Cornishman with a larger-than-life personality, who wowed audiences at his tea parties in the fashionable coffee houses of Covent Garden. The festival will be producing educational projects and installations re-establishing Foote as a celebrated Cornishman in his hometown.
