Hidden in the heart of Cornwall, England, the town of Helston brings with it a blend of history that dates back to 1201 when King John granted its charter, and a vibrancy that is manifested through its annual Furry Dance, a tradition said to have originated from the medieval period. Known in Cornish as "hen lis" or "old court," Helston was once a bustling Saxon manor offering fascinating insight into the passage of time.

From the Cornish crosses scattered around the town, to St Michael's Church noted for its exquisite stained-glass windows and lofty bell tower, Helston exudes an old-world charm while catering to modern tastes. Home to the Helston Museum, visitors can delve into the town's agricultural and market history, while The Flambards Experience lets you tap into your adventurous side with thrilling rides and aviation exhibits.

When to visit Helston

There's never a bad time to visit Helston; however the ideal months to experience the town in all its glory are July, August, and September. Those looking to experience the famous Flora Day, a festival held annually on May 8th celebrating the arrival of spring with traditional dances throughout the day, should plan their visit in advance. Even if you're a budget traveller, consider a November trip for a cost-effective experience.

Spring, summer, and autumn are the preferred seasons for travellers but that doesn't mean winter should be overlooked. Although not recommended for those in search of a sunny retreat, it can be an idyllic setting for those who love to watch the world go by in a quieter pace, curled up in a cosy inn with a steaming cup of something delicious.
