Another Country International Short Film Award by Cornwall Film Festival "Great to watch films in a café – somewhere other than a cinema - and in Penryn! Like short stories, or puddings, there are only so many short films you can eat in one sitting before you are full."

Audience Member in Miss Peapod Cafe in Penryn

Get Cornwall Dancing by The Works" I was completely overwhelmed by the joy and excitement a dance workshop can bring into a care home – once you put on the music, they were off!"

Caravanserai by Mac Dunlop, Annie Lovejoy and Pete and Debs Walker

"Caravanserai is a remarkable project...  It invites everyone to creatively connect with the ongoing, ever changing nature of landscape... The toilet  logbooks filled up with poems and pictures, people who have never written before began to write, there has been a new wave of appreciation for poetry... The experience has changed my life." 

Alyson Hallet, poet in residence

Look Group Project by Tate St Ives

 “I have learned a great deal in such a short space of time. I have been fortunate to listen to other people’s amazing thoughts and ideas about art and artists, while gaining knowledge in a very informal and enjoyable way. I have been able to visit Tate St Ives with a group of new friends who have made those visits far more interesting and less daunting than visiting the gallery on my own.” 

Look Group Member, Penzance

Salt Fest by Livewire

“A new experience for me, because I knew very little about the Cornwall Live Music Scene, and also little about the social and technical problems, of putting on this sort of Festival. A very interesting learning curve!!"
