Helston Attractions

 
On May eighth each year Helston (8mi/13km; pop. 10,800) is the scene of the traditional Furry (or Floral) Dance, centerpiece of a folk festival with participants in period costume.

At other times this medieval 'Stannary' town, where smelted tin was once weighed and taxed, is a quiet market town, with many 18th and 19th century buildings and a folk museum in the Old Butter Market.

The Flambards Experience is an amusement park in Helston featuring live entertainment and rides.
