Thank you to the Camborne & Redruth District Lions for inviting me to join them this evening for their 47th Charter Anniversary Dinner. They do fantastic work in the community across the year, and I’m honoured to have been invited to take part in their celebrations.

Do you have what it takes to be Redruth’s next Town Crier?

We're excited to announce the launch of our competition to find our new Town Crier!

If you think it could be you, just film yourself giving your best town crier performance, perhaps starting "oyez, oyez..." and send it into us by Tuesday 2nd May. You'll need to be free to come to Murdoch Day on Saturday 17th June as well as our other festival days throughout the year.

Redruth's Town Crier will receive a £500 p.a. honorarium (paid quarterly) and the full uniform is provided.

It was a pleasure to welcome the staff and students from Mineral Point to Redruth this morning ahead of their day at Lanhydrock.
Our links with our twin towns and cities are incredibly important to Redruth, and I hope to see them grow further in the years ahead!

I look forward to welcoming students from our twin city of Mineral Point to Redruth on Monday morning, where it looks like the start of a very exciting trip around Cornwall for them!

✈️ The latest chapter in the Mineral Point, WI / Redruth, Cornwall Student Exchange departs today! Safe travels to our crew and thanks to Redruth School for welcoming them. Make sure to follow their page for exciting adventures throughout their trip!

The Mineral Point Twinning Committee, and Mineral Point Unified School District in partnership, will send six Mineral Point students to Cornwall, United Kingdom on March 16th. Interestingly to start off the trip, there will be a short layover in Dublin, Ireland on March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, before arriving in Newquay, Cornwall and then driving on to Redruth, our Mineral Point Cornish twin city. Jackson Busch, Marcus Cool, Julianna Cool, Ella James, Livie Poad, and Sophia Stephenson along with trip leader, Mr. Matt Nevers and chaperone Mrs. Kipalee Bakken are preparing for their adventure.

Due to COVID, this will be the first trip since the 2019 group went to Cornwall. Students and chaperones are all very excited to be able to travel across the pond, meet with our host families, and see all the wonderful sights.

On the trip students will take tours of West Cornwall along with Redruth and Redruth School, St. Ives with shopping and tour of the beaches, Murdoch House and Heartlands, Mining Museum and Diaspora Gardens, Lanhydrock House, St Michael’s Mount, Lands End, Gwennap Pit, Mine Tour, Eden Project, Charlestown Harbour and Shipwreck Museum, Quaker Meeting House- Come to Good, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Mevagissey Fishing Village, and Penzance.

Activities they will participate in include making Cornish pasty, skittles (bowling), and swimming at Jubilee Pool, a geothermal heated pool. There will also be an opportunity to explore more of Cornwall with their host families.

At the end of the trip, the group will stop to see Stonehenge and Windsor Castle along their way to London where they will have a two day stay to see sights such as Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Tower of London, London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Paddington Station, and students will attend a performance of Phantom of the Opera.

It should be a wonderful trip!

Good morning Redruth!
I’m heartbroken to say that due to illness I can’t be at today’s St Piran’s Festival in town, where we have so much to look forward to, but I will be leaving you in the very capable hands of Deputy Mayor Cllr Stephen Barnes.
There’s so much happening, so if you do have the opportunity, please do head on down, where an ever-exciting day awaits!

I’m really looking forward to cutting the ribbon at Murdoch House on Saturday morning, which promises to be the start of a full day of St Piran’s festivities.
Join us from 10am this Saturday!

The grand unveiling of the refurbished Murdoch House will be at 10am on the St Piran's festival (Saturday 4th March) when the Town Mayor will officially open the exhibition. The House will be open all day, with light refreshments, storytelling, film shows and interactive exhibits. Everyone is welcome.
