Big Music Acts Hit the Helifest Stage

The main stage line-up features names like Tom Cary, 3 Daft Monkeys, Rue, The Tregony Teachers, Our Atlantic Roots, and Falmouth Soul Sensations.

British country artist Tom Cary brings his smooth vocals and fan favourite ‘Cowboy Coming Home’ – inspired by his fundraising ride from John O’Groats to the Isles of Scilly for Cornwall Air Ambulance.

Also taking the stage are high-energy folk band 3 Daft Monkeys, soulful jazz artist Rue, and the ever-entertaining Tregony Teachers. Expect rich harmonies from husband-and-wife duo Our Atlantic Roots, and soul classics from Falmouth Soul Sensations.

Get Up Close to Cornwall’s Emergency Services

Helifest is all about celebrating Cornwall’s blue light services. Kids (and grown-ups) can explore emergency vehicles and meet the people behind the uniforms.

• Devon & Cornwall Police

• Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service

Fairground Rides, Circus Skills & Axe Throwing
