Helston Flora Day

The most famous of the Cornish events, Helston Flora remains as popular as ever. There are 5 different dances during the day through the streets and through some houses. The dances include the popular Children's Dance and the Hal-an-Tow (at 8.30am) which in particular seems medieval in character. The Midday dance is also well known in that the men are dressed in Top Hats. See official website for details.
Flora day is usually the 8th May unless it falls on a Sunday or Monday, when it is changed to the preceding Saturday
