Helston's ancient spring celebration brings the town to life with dancing, pageantry, and centuries-old tradition. From 7am, couples dance the famous Furry Dance through decorated streets, weaving between houses and shops to banish winter's darkness. The colourful Hal an Tow pageant tells Helston's history through song and performance—featuring tales of the Spanish Armada, St George, and St Michael's battle with the devil. Every corner blooms with greenery and flowers as the community celebrates renewal and the arrival of spring.
