Join me for Murdoch Day, a celebration honouring the legacy of William Murdoch, the pioneer behind the use of coal gas in lighting. This year, we are ‘Celebrating 200 Years of the Railway’ as our Murdoch Day Festival theme. This theme acknowledges Redruth’s rich industrial history and celebrates William Murdoch’s contribution to a bicentenary of innovation. I love seeing the parade and all the children’s art and creations.,

This looks fantastic! I love the local celebrations around heritage each town and city has.

Me too. It’s the Golowan festival in Penzance this week but we haven’t managed to get there this year. Every town/village seems to have at least one special day for the community to come together for some fun. 🙂

Redruth does these things well! It was very damp with some heavy showers but nothing dampens our spirits when there’s a parade to join in! 🙂
