Helston Harvest Fair weekend ended with the horticultural and craft show on Sunday.
This saw the number of entries in the vegetable classes almost hitting the same heights as in the harvest fair’s heyday, with the flowers also particularly strong.
John Boase, chairman of the harvest fair committee, said: “In general it was a very good show. The helpers worked brilliantly and really hard.”
RESULTS: Horticultural and craft show cup winners.
