A market is coming to Helston this Sunday - and volunteers are urgently needed to help it run smoothly.

The market will be a show of local art, crafts and food, celebrating producers in the local area.

Helston Community Interest Company (HCIC) are running the market, having secured a grant earlier this year of £1,000 from the National Lottery 25th Anniversary Fund.

Held in the Trengrouse Way Extension Short Stay car park, the open air market is in an enclosed area where social distancing can be controlled.

Malcolm Oliver from HCIC, said: "Helston town centre has not had such an event for many years.

"Covid-19 has caused real problems for so many of our community and many are still nervous of the situation, so it is our wish that our community responds to a unique event which will promote Helston and help local businesses who have suffered from the government restrictions.

"It will also help with the challenges Helston has been facing for several years.

"We are very grateful to the 33 local businesses who have responded to the event and there will be an excellent mix of produce on sale."
