Scouting For Girls!

Scouting For Girls were such a hit at Falmouth Week last year that they’re back for more, and we couldn’t be happier about it.

Formed in 2005 by three childhood friends from London, Scouting For Girls are one of Britain’s best-loved indie pop bands. With eight Top 40 UK hits to their name, their back catalogue is packed with the kind of euphoric, feel-good anthems that are made for a summer night in Falmouth.

If you were there last year, you’ll already have your tickets. If you missed out, this is your second chance.

Army Climbing Wall

The Army brings an exciting, hands-on experience to the Moor once again throughout Falmouth Week. Challenge your nerves with their impressive mobile climbing wall, offering the perfect opportunity to scale new heights and test your strength, speed and skill under pressure.

Alongside the climbing challenge, visitors can explore the Army’s interactive display area, where you’ll discover more about life in the forces through engaging activities and demonstrations. Friendly personnel will be on hand to answer questions, share their experiences, and give a unique insight into the wide range of roles and opportunities available.

Falmouth Art Gallery

Falmouth Art Gallery will be out on The Moor running free, drop-in creative workshops inspired by their current exhibition, Mirrors: Reflecting on Identity, which brings together major loans and works by internationally significant artists exploring the question of who we are. The exhibition spans paintings, photographs and mixed-media works from the last century through to the present day, all exploring identity and how each of us works out who we are and how we want to be seen.

No booking required, just drop in any time between 10am and 3pm and get creative in response to the exhibition themes.

There will be a short break during the workshops where Kate from Falmouth Library will share fairytales and stories linked with the exhibition. Stories begin at 1pm every day, so bring your lunch and enjoy a tale or two. Stories for all ages and all welcome.

And remember, Falmouth Art Gallery offers free admission, so if the workshop sparks your curiosity, pop inside afterwards to see Mirrors for yourself.

Museums Corner

Thursday’s Museums Corner brings a double bill, with PK Porthcurno, Museum of Global Communications, and Bodmin Keep, Cornwall’s Army Museum, both joining us on The Moor across the day.

PK Porthcurno tells the extraordinary story of how a quiet Cornish valley became a global communications hub, from the arrival of the first undersea telegraph cable in 1870 through to today’s fibre optics, with tales of the top-secret WWII bunker cut into the valley’s granite along the way.

Bodmin Keep, housed in a Grade II listed Victorian keep and the former home of the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry, tells over 300 years of Cornish military history through thousands of artefacts, from uniforms and medals to historic weaponry and personal stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times.

Drop by their stand on The Moor to find out more, no booking required, just pop along any time between 10am and 3pm (with a short break from 12:15 to 12:45).
