Smugglers of Falmouth - A Murder in the Mist
Experience an exciting new addition to Falmouth Week this year, as the talented Cornwall Murder Mystery Co. bring you “Smugglers of Falmouth: A Murder in the Mist”.
Step into the shadowy world of Cornwall’s smuggling underworld in this gripping, interactive murder mystery set against the docks of Falmouth. A crew of rival smugglers, secret informants, and shady sea dogs gathers at what promises to be one final and highly profitable job. But treachery is in the air, and by sunrise, a deal is underway… but someone won’t live to see the tide turn.
Join us as the story unfolds in real-time:
Question the suspects
View the crime scene
Watch the drama unravel before your eyes
Can you uncover the truth before the killer slips away with the tide? Or will the secrets of the harbour remain buried at sea?
Get ready for scandal, suspicion, and salty suspense… where everyone has something to hide, and not all treasure is gold.
Head down to Events Square to unravel the mystery… performances will begin at 10am, 11.30am, 1pm and 2.30pm.
Falmouth Carnival
Organised by Falmouth Marine Band Cornwall in partnership with Falmouth Town Council, the Carnival is always a highlight of Falmouth Week.
This year, we’re bringing the spectacle of decorated floats back to Falmouth Carnival! Whether you’re a local business, a community group, a school, or just a group of friends with a creative spark, now’s your chance to design and showcase your own eye-catching float. You can find out more and register your float HERE!
The heart of Falmouth Carnival has always been its fantastic marching parade, and we want YOU to be part of it! Get creative with your costumes, banners, and routines as you bring the theme ‘Fill Your Boots’ to life. Whether you interpret this literally with oversized boots or take it as a call to celebrate local pride, we can’t wait to see what you come up with – all you will need to do is register HERE.
As part of the Falmouth Carnival celebrations, we invite all shops and traders in the town to decorate their windows and take part in the annual Window Dressing Competition – let’s transform Falmouth into a colourful spectacle for everyone to enjoy! A map of participants will be created so visitors can admire the displays throughout the town!
Get ready to immerse yourself in a day filled with music, dance and vibrant entrants, as we celebrate the spirit of Falmouth. Mark your calendars, gather your friends and family and show off your colourful carnival costumes!
