Preparation for this year's Live Nativity, which will take place on Sunday, December 10, is well under way.

Izzy, who will play the part of Mary again this year, took Joseph the donkey out for a practice ride with owner Tessa and her other donkey. Tessa has been taking part in the Live Nativity with her donkeys since the first live nativity six-years-ago.

This year there will be the usual stable scene in the marquee surrounded by a fantastic mix of animals and as always free refreshments and children’s craft in Falmouth Methodist Church.
