Heritage event: The Haunted Castle
This even is taking place at Pendennis castle in Falmouth and lasting for one week commencing the twenty fifth of October and finishing on Halloween. The event includes a spooky themed tour around the castle with access to usually off limit parts; whilst on the tour you are also told a number of ghost stories about the history of the castle. This event targets families as it's main patrons, with a family ticket option included. Prices are six pounds for adults, three pounds for children, and five pounds and ten pence concession, the family ticket is fifteen pounds. It is also free entry for heritage members. I do not think that I will attend this event, it does not appeal to me, in my opinion if you have been on one ghost tour you have been on all of them.
Entertainment Event: Cornwall Film Festival
From November the Fifth until November the Seventh Falmouth is host to the ninth annual Cornwall Film Festival, this event is a gathering of young innovative film makers and connoseurs alike. There are a range of films being shown throughout the weekend, from australian westerns to cornish language musicals; on top of the film presentations there are a number of other activities to enjoy, including seminars from people in the film industry, workshops for young people; introducing them to the processes of film making, and an exhibition of film related art. This event's target audience is a very wide one, everybody enjoys film and with the range that are being shown people are bound to find at least one thing to enjoy. Prices are varied, from day passes to weekend passes, concession passes and individual feauture presentation ticket prices. I am looking forward to attending this event, I love film and my dream is to create a film festival after finishing my course.
Visual Art event: Truro City of Lights
On the seventeenth of November in the streets of Truro's town centre thousands of people will be attending the City of Lights event. Major artists from all over Cornwall build very intricate and visually spectactular lanterns to parade through the streets, also children from the local schools in the area create lots of smaller scale lanterns to fill the procession, aswell as this main event there is live music and dance throughout the evening, the event lasts for one night and is an annual event. In my opinion this event appeals to people of every age and has a very wide range of target audience. The event is free to attend but there are donation collectors around the streets, a suggested donation is one pound per person. The event last year had quite a few big sponsors including Skinner's ale, Specsavers and Abbey Bank. I am personally very excited to attend this event, I know a lot of people that would find this a really amazing night.
