Falmouth probably has a higher density of creative talent than any other coastal town in the UK. There’s an amazingly fertile mix of people producing extraordinary work in visual art, design, applied art, writing, music, film and TV.
On this site you can meet just a few of them and find out about some of the creative venues, organisations and events that make for such a stimulating environment.
Of course, it’s no match for checking Falmouth out for yourself. Whether you’ve got a weekend, a couple of years or a lifetime, it’s a pretty special place to be.
