Old Time Sailors
The Old Time Sailors return!
Ahoy there! You are invited to board the Sailorette and join the plentiful crew, 'The Old Time Sailors', for a night of footstomping, dancing and singing!
You will be sailing back to the 19th century for an immersive experience of traditional seafaring music performed in a way you have never seen before.
The Motley Crew and their plethora of traditional and eclectic instruments will take you back to the time of clashing tankards, and drunken debauchery. Sing and dance along like a drunken sailor as the band perform centuries old folk and shanty songs.
Fancy dress is encouraged, so pull out your best seafaring garments me hearties and join the festivities!

Samson and Delilah
The Killigrew's are up to their usual devious ways in Falmouth and Queen Elizabeth is not at all happy.
Sir Francis Godolphin is fighting the Spanish in Penzance and is not at all happy.
Blissfully unaware and occasionally happy, the Tudor players of Penryn are staging 'Samson & Delilah.'
'Samson and Delilah' is a fun, historical drama set during the backdrop of the Spanish Armada. The tour travels along Cornish coastal communities - from Mousehole to Penryn - where the Cornish and Spanish finally meet. Two worlds are about to collide both on and off the stage!
For audiences 8+

Autumnal Writing Workshop
On this Workshop, writer and counsellor Polly Roberts will use the gardens as inspiration to share some rainy day writing exercises to uncover some seeds of ideas for winter warming. Autumn is the perfect time for turning inward and reflecting on what has been growing and what may be to come. Together through words, we will find moments of stillness, observation, and beauty to fill our cups before the darker winter months.
Polly is a writer and counsellor and facilitates creative writing workshops around Cornwall, specialising in Nature Writing and Writing for Wellbeing. In 2019, she was named by the British Council as one of three UK emerging nature writers. Her debut poetry collection, Grieving with the Animals was published in 2020. Her debut novel, Together We Evolve, a story of personal and environmental rewilding, was published in 2023. Dr Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed The World, describes Polly’s writing as, ‘Deftly exploring the borders and boundaries between humanity and nature.’
Your ticket price to this workshop includes a copy of Polly's novel, RRP £14.99
