Penryn filled with music, art and cultural events over the weekend, as the town's annual arts festival spread itself over four sunny spring days.

People of all ages took part in workshops, walking tours and wild west fun as the Penryn Arts Festival returned to the town's public hall, parks, pubs, and art galleries, and even private homes, from Friday to Monday.

Combined with the usual art festival events, there was a commemoration of the 750th anniversary of Glasney College, as artists Simon Persighetti and Katie Etheridge ran a programme of event on Glasney Field including Cornish dancing, an open air university lecture - with cake - and the reading of the Cornish ordinalia, written at Glasney, by six Cornish bards.

Sunday saw the return of music festival I Fought the Lawn in Trelawney Park, with musical acts including Hedluv and Passman and up-and-coming Falmouth band the Red Cords playing to crowds who braved the drizzle to enjoy beer, pizza and live music, followed in the evening by a hoedown led by Miracle Theatre.

Festival organiser Sarah-Jane Marsden said: "The festival his year has been bigger and better, I think, than ever before. People have been rating it anywhere from nine to 12 out of 10.

"There was a huge range of events for all different ages, and I Fought the Lawn has really brought the community together, with 250 to 300 people.

"It's been an incredible mix of events, all well attended, with people already talking about next year."
