Two celebrations in Redruth today – Murdoch Day ( a celebration honouring the legacy of William Murdoch, the pioneer behind the use of coal gas in lighting) and Redruth Pride and the town has been buzzing with the parade, activities, live music on various stages and lots of market stalls. The sun shone too which is such a bonus. Enjoy the gallery and click on any photo for the caption and more detail.

Delightful activity for children to draw themselves.

Each child carried a cut-out of an engine house, all named for local copper/tin mines

Isn’t it wonderful when festivals and blue skies align?

Oh yes! The sun made all the difference, so many people came out to see the parades and visit the town. It was great fun. 🙂
