Celebrating Falmouth Businesses Exhibition 21 Jan - 4 Feb

A reminder that our two week exhibition will be running in The Poly from the end of the month. Very much another strand of the Shop Local Think Falmouth campaign, we will be taking the images of businesses owners you have seen on the vacant unit wallpaper designs, taken by local photographer Hugh Hastings and showcasing these. The intention of course is to celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of our town through the characters and personalities that help shape it.
