Victorian Gardens, A London Bus and Yachts
1 We spent a lovely couple of hours in Falmouth on this gloriously sunny (and warm!) day. We were lucky enough to catch Shallal Dance Theatre rehearsing in the gardens by the bandstand.

Rehearsing
They are a “dynamic, celebratory, socially inclusive company which explores improvised dance theatre, providing a performance space for anyone and everyone in the community, seeking to enable artistic expression, improve physical health and self–confidence and provide a socially inclusive experience that will enhance the quality of life for all members through professionalism, dedication, skill acquisition and sheer good fun.” They certainly live up to that promise and the happiness was shared by all who were lucky enough to be in the gardens today.
There are fabulous views over Falmouth Bay from the Gardens.
