2022 is the 50th anniversary of Pride in the UK with your help we are bringing 11 community Cornwall Prides to the whole of Cornwall in May, June and July 2022!

With our community, volunteers, partners, supporters, funders, to share our values #LoveWhoYouWantToLove #BeWhoYouWantToBeCommunity Prides across Cornwall, many of them with a parade march at 12pm, all Prides 12pm to 6pm in the centre of the communities.

Comedy at Launceston - Launceston
Rich Hall's Hoedown Deluxe Friday 27 May 8pm £17

Fans keep returning because this show goes where other comedians wouldn’t dare: Barrow-in-Furness for example.

Bude & Stratton Folk Festival - Bude
Bude & Stratton Folk Festival
Bude & Stratton Folk Festival is small friendly and very welcoming
This Folk Festival is a friendly mix of folk events held on the late May Bank Holiday weekend 27-30 May 2022. It features music, song, dance, and storytelling, and there is a small programme of children’s events.
What happens?
Most of the concerts and workshops are centred on the Falcon Hotel, Bude. There is an excellent and varied range of talented folk performers and festival friends booked as festival guests. See the website for the full range of artists confirmed so far. The fun filled 'Music Hall' concert has become a major draw for the Sunday evening and there is always a big Shanty sing and an evening ceilidh dance included in the programme.
The Rugby Club provides the venue for 'sing arounds' and a gathering place. Open mike opportunities are available in the Church with its wonderful acoustics, here there is a 'coffee shop' with great lunches daily and a non-denominational 'folk' service with music and song on the Sunday morning. There are music sessions both at the Tree Inn, Stratton and at the Coachman bar of the Falcon Hotel. Street entertainment and dance add to the fun filled inclusive atmosphere.
How can you take part?
The festival committee offers both weekend tickets and individual event tickets at a fair price, with certain concessions and many of the sessions are free. Contact us through our downloadable booking form from the website or ring Peter on 07736 374003.
Camping is available at the Rugby Club Festival Campsite and other local sites. Participation is encouraged at all levels of ability with a range of workshops each morning. The 'sing arounds' and open mike performances are opportunities for festival goers to perform, if they wish, or to listen to the wide range of talent such an inclusive festival attracts.
