A much-loved Helston music festival will return this weekend as organisers reveal an extensive lineup of musical talent performing over the three-day event. 

The Blue Anchor will welcome back Helstonbury, a festival showcasing local musical talent while raising money for charity.  

Helstonbury was created by Paul Turton back in 2001, where it was initially meant to be a one-night gig to raise money for a young lady who needed funds for her wheelchair. Now, this year the festival will celebrate its 21st year.
