Once again the festival atmosphere will be present as the town centre is expected to fill with people, music and entertainment as the schedule gets underway:

. 1pm-1:15pm Redruth opening ceremony by Redruth's town Mayor, Cllr Barbara Ellenbroek at Tatie Court, Lower Fore Street
. 2:15pm-2:30pm Performance by Trewirgie School Choir in St Rumons Garden.

Carolyn Rule, Kerrier District Council's portfolio holder for economic development and community regeneration, said: "It has been a great partnership effort to achieve what you will see, between the people of Camborne and Redruth.

Carolyn added: "It will be pleasing that the young people will be entertaining us on Friday June 27th as they are what we are all working for, investing in their future, whilst celebrating the historic pasts of both these fine towns."
