As part of the regeneration of Redruth town centre, Redruth Revival is planning to

trial a Land Train in Redruth later in the spring. We will be holding a consultation

in the Buttermarket about the proposed Land Train. We will explain what it is,

show you pictures and tell you all about the launch date and what we have

planned. We want to know what you think of the idea and if you feel there is a

future for this as a permanent feature in Redruth so please do come along and

give us your views. Every consultation completed on the day will be entered into

a free prize draw so there is an extra incentive to tell us your views.

The Buttermarket Courtyard

Street food and live music from 10am to 3pm plus

Redruth Revival’s plant stall and the ever popular all-day

cream teas! There are two free performances of new

mini-drama Piran’s Round’ (see page 5 for details) and

St Andrew's Church, Clinton Road will be open from 10am

to 3pm. Church open for children's treasure hunt, exhibition

on the Centennial Anniversary of the War Memorial,

consultation about church opening. Teas and coffees served

throughout.

Come and help us to celebrate the St Piran’s Day Parade at Redruth

Library and Information Service, Clinton Road! Join in the fun and

activities – it’s all free!

Murdoch House, Cross Street will be open all day for

refreshments and information. Pop in for a cuppa, a slice

of homemade cake and a chat about all things Redruth.

Find out about William Murdoch and his legacy, talk to us

buildings. We look forward to welcoming you.
