26th March - 3rd AprilThe first Falmouth Spring Festival instigated through the Falmouth Business Improvement District (BID) project has just taken place and been really well received by businesses, residents and visitors alike.
The event was conceived with the specific aim of adding a new, early season festival to Falmouth’s events calendar, one that would be extensively supported by the local business community and help to boost trade, footfall and spend at a traditionally quiet time of the year. A host of initiatives were organised some with a strong community bias such as the Guerrilla Gardening exercise (top right) that saw a derelict corner of Falmouth, Bell’s Court cleared of 7 tonnes of rubbish and then
replanted and the Paint the Town Yellow Day (above right) with schoolchildren and students
involved.
In addition to this, numerous guided walks & talks, a Spring Fashion show (right), Gardeners' Question Time, daily rockpooling sessions on Castle Beach and a Spring Fair were laid on, all aimed at celebrating Falmouth's beautiful open and green spaces through art, music, education and fashion.
All the videos, images and feedback on the event can be viewed here.
