Title Sponsor of Falmouth Spring Festival 2014 unveiled
Princess Pavilion & Gyllyngdune Gardens, part of the award-winning charity Tempus Leisure, has been announced as the title sponsor of the fourth Falmouth Spring Festival. Tempus Leisure also operates Ships & Castles Leisure Centre in Falmouth, and a further 14 other leisure centres across Cornwall.
Funded and organised by the Falmouth BID, the Falmouth Spring Festival is the first main festival on the Falmouth events calendar, an early season idea designed to raise Falmouth’s profile and help town businesses. It celebrates Falmouth’s open spaces through a host of music, dance, sporting events, walks and ‘spring clean’ activities that take place at numerous venues both indoor and outdoor, across the town.
The Festival also has a strong community ethos with schools, volunteer groups and charities all
involved and working in partnership with the Falmouth BID to celebrate Falmouth’s special coastal environment and historic town centre in as many innovative ways as possible. This is exemplified by the Paint the Town Yellow Day, that involves all six of the town’s schools, 7,000 daffodils, Falmouth University students and around 100 businesses working together to design colourful, spring themed shop front displays to brighten up the town at the start of Spring Festival week.
Several new exciting activities are planned for 2014 and a full schedule and Guide will follow shortly but Festival highlights include:
Thurs 13 March Paint the Town Yellow Day
Fri 14 & Sat 15 March Falmouth Spring Clean Days
Sun 16 March Run Falmouth Half-Marathon
Sat 23- Sun 24 March Cider & Folk Fayre
Spring Clean Day will, thanks to volunteer support, be spread over two days and include beach
cleans, landscaping, flower planting, rubbish removal and a host more activity. Run Falmouth will once again be organised in partnership with Cornwall Hospice Care and the Falmouth Spring flower Show will take on a nautical theme to celebrate the Tall Ships visiting later in the year. A new activity Walking on Sunshine, a family-orientated sponsored walk, will take place in conjunction with Mabe School.
The schedule can be viewed online at www.falmouth.co.uk.
Richard Wilcox, Falmouth BID Manager said:
“I’m thrilled to have an organisation of the calibre of Tempus Leisure on board and it perhaps is a measure of how far the Festival has come in recent years. The events are intended to be diverse and eclectic and 2014 will see a creative mix of new and established activities to hopefully attract many more visitors. And now with the support of Tempus Leisure, we can look to grow and develop the Festival in exciting ways, thereby providing even more of a significant early season boost for the town and its businesses.”
Jacqui Owen, Visitor and Education Officer at Gyllyngdune Gardens said:
“Tempus Leisure is about providing opportunities that inspire active communities, which is why we are so delighted to be sponsoring the Falmouth Spring Festival this year. Princess Pavilion and Gyllyngdune Gardens have been at the heart of our community for over a 100 years and supporting this event provides a chance for our fantastic community to come together to celebrate our beautiful town and share all that Falmouth has to offer with our visitors.”
