Happy Flora Day, Helston! 🌼💛
A little throwback to last year’s Plastic Free Helston campaign and the unforgettable visit from the Rewilderbeest — roaming the streets, serenading reusable cup holders, and bringing smiles (and a few surprised jumps!) all across town.

The Rewilderbeest may be off in the wild this year, but the message is just as important: please remember your reusable cup for Flora Day! ♻️

Last year showed just how amazing Helston can be when we come together to reduce single-use waste and celebrate reuse, it was brilliant to see so many people doing their bit for the town and the environment.

So whether you’re dancing through the streets, meeting friends in the pubs, or just soaking up the atmosphere - bring your reusable cup and help keep Flora Day as plastic-free as possible. 🌿
