Penzance May Horns
A traditional spring festival on 1st May 2012
Penzance's annual celebration of the coming of May and Summer. All are welcome but white or green clothing is a must, and the odd bit of greenery is welcome. Dont forget to bring a horn to blow or a drum to bang!
Starting at Trereife House in the Morning with the traditional May horns picnic and other suprise events.
Later on, participants gather for a procession starting at the Tolcarne Inn Newlyn at 8pm winding through the back streets, playing music and blowing horns. The evening ends with fire performances and the annual May Horns Party at the Admiral Benbow.

St. Ives food and drink festival runs between Monday, May 21st, 2012 - 9:00am - Sunday, May 28th, 2012 - 5:00pm. Again this year promises to be a celebration of the very finest food and drink that St. Ives and Cornwall has to offer. 
Born in 1935, Peggy is the half-sister of Pete Seeger and daughter of Ruth Crawford Seeger: her life partner was the English songwriter Ewan MacColl, who wrote First Time Ever I Saw Your Face for her and with whom she had three children. Nowadays she is sometimes thought of as the mother of Neill and Calum MacColl but she is very much her own woman. She is probably best known for her feminist song Gonna Be an Engineer and for The Ballad of Springhill, which is rapidly becoming regarded as a traditional song.
