The streets of Penryn are already decked in black and gold bunting in preparation for this year's Town Fair Day

The town fair committee, local councillors and businesses are all gearing up for the big day on Saturday, August 29, which promises to be packed full of music, games, and attractions, as well as plenty of stalls from local groups.

The fair is set to be opened at 1pm outside the Methodist Chapel, by BBC Radio Cornwall's Lawrence Reed, with pigeons released in remembrance of those used for signalling during World War 1.

There will be entertainment throughout the afternoon with James Dundon’s Barrel Organ near the Memorial Gardens , Soul Sensation playing at Fish Cross, and country and western band Preachin' Country at the Seven Stars, with Haylestorm Samba band and Cober Valley Accordion Band also playing nearby.

Various World War One and Two exhibits will be on display at Penryn Museum, where local historian Ernie Warmington will be signing and selling copies of his fifth book, Penryn From Old Photographs.

Penryn Town hall will play host to Penryn Camera Club with a photography display, while the Methodist Chapel will have an exhibition entitled Wedding Gowns, with home made refreshments available, and a concert in the evening, and outside the chapel the Bingo Bus will have eyes down at 2pm.

For the children Professor Goodvibes will be in the Memorial Gardens with Punch and Judy, Mark Wiles will bring his creepy crawlies, and there will also be a bouncy castle, bucking bronco, and a display by the Saturday Club dancers, with more children's rides on Broad Street, while at the top of Higher Market Street there will be a big slide and various other amusements.

For the petrolheads, Broad Street is the place to be with a display of classic cars, as well as the British Legion Bikers.

Ahead of the official opening, the grand-bard will lead a short service at 12.30pm at the Prayer Book Rebellion commemorative stone on Quay Hill, before a parade including the mayor, the Royal British Legion standard, and representatives of the town leaves the Memorial Gardens.

Organiser Mary May said: "Come into Penryn, we would love to see you, because it’s Penryn Town Fair, and people you haven’t seen for a while are sure to be there."
