Oddfellows Announce September Friendship Events in Cornwall

The Plymouth & Truro District Oddfellows is inviting people in Cornwall and Plymouth to come together this September 2025 for Friendship Month, a nationwide celebration of connection and companionship.

With everything from guest talks and heritage tours to coffee mornings, yoga and social lunches, the Oddfellows have planned a variety of events across Redruth, Truro and Plymouth. Each event is open to everyone, with a warm welcome promised.

Peter English, District Secretary for Plymouth & Truro Oddfellows, said:

“Friendship Month is about bringing people together and showing that friendship has the power to improve lives. Whether it’s sharing stories, learning something new, or simply enjoying a coffee and a chat, there’s something for everyone at our Oddfellows events – and a very warm welcome for newcomers.”
