Climate activists have announced they will be staging a demonstration shortly before the COP26 meeting, taking place on November 1.

Activists in Truro and Falmouth will be meeting foe a 'clanging event' - whereby pots, pans, buckets, bells and anything else that makes a loud noise are banged together.

The event, which has been organised by the Green Party, will be taking place on Saturday October 30 from 5:30pm and the clanging will begin at 6pm and last around ten minutes.

The locations of the two event have been announced as the war memorial on Boscowen street in Truro and at the Moor in Falmouth.

A spokesperson for the event said: "On November 1, delegates from around the world will meet in Glasgow for the most important conference in the world’s history: COP26.
