Description
For hundreds of years in the Cornish market town of Helston the townsfolk have celebrated and enjoyed the wonderful tradition that is Flora Day.
It is a spring festival to celebrate the end of winter and mark the arrival of the new vitality and fertility with the trees and flowers bursting into life. The houses and shops of the town are decorated with greenery and floral arrangements to express the spirit of renewal.
Even in the rain the town’s children dance merrily through the streets at 10am, accompanied like the other dances by the town band. They are well-dressed, the boys wearing a tie in the colours of their school and lily of the valley and their partner sporting matching-coloured flowers in their hair.
