Museum of Cornish Life to Host Cornish Summer Fair in July 2024

The Museum of Cornish Life has announced an exciting event for the upcoming summer: their first-ever Cornish Summer Fair, scheduled for July 20, 2024. This day-long celebration aims to immerse visitors in the rich cultural tapestry of Cornwall through an array of performances and activities.

Attendees can look forward to a vibrant showcase of Cornish singing, dancing, and storytelling, providing a unique opportunity to experience the region’s traditional arts firsthand. The fair will also feature outdoor games, adding a layer of fun and engagement for families and visitors of all ages.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, a pop-up café will be on-site, offering refreshments and a space for fairgoers to relax and socialise. The museum’s two market buildings will transform into bustling hubs of creativity and commerce, hosting 17 stalls. These stalls will present a prime opportunity for local makers and producers to display and sell their crafts and products, further highlighting the diverse talents within the Cornish community.

The Museum of Cornish Life is currently inviting interested vendors to participate in this inaugural fair. Those looking to secure a stall or seeking more information about the event are encouraged to reach out via email at shop@museumofcornishlife.co.uk.

This summer fair not only promises to be a day of cultural celebration and community connection but also underscores the museum’s commitment to preserving and promoting Cornwall’s heritage.
