Join us for a Fun, Family-Friendly St Piranโ€™s Festival Show at The Creation Works.
๐ŸŽญ
Celebrate St Piranโ€™s Day with a lively 40 minute family friendly show packed with humour, history, and the best of Cornish storytelling.
๐Ÿคฃ
After performing to thousands of primary-aged children over the past five years, The Cornish Caretakers are bringing their hilarious and informartve live theatre show to The Creation Works for the first time!

Comprising the hapless Mr Rodda Rowe Rescorla and spiky Mr Penrose Pengilly Penwarth, The Cornish Caretakers look after and share wonderful stories from Cornish history to children and their families - from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the absurd to the sensible, from the joyous to the tragic.

The Cornish Caretakers 'A History of Cornwall' stars Edward Rowe (Cornwallโ€™s Kernow King!) and Dan Richards (from Near-ta Theatreโ€™s Christmas Time).
๐Ÿ“–
Expect a warm, funny, and engaging performance exploring fascinating figures from Cornish history. Perfect for anyone who loves a good story.
