Truro Children's Day 2026

We will be organising and funding Children's Day in Truro City Centre for Saturday 20 June. Families will be able to enjoy exciting mountain bike stunt shows on Lemon Quay, along with stalls, dance performances and have-a-go session in circus skills. Plus other activity in Pydar St.

Take part in Children's Day

Relevant Truro Businesses are encouraged to join in with Children's Day. There are a couple of ways to take part:

  • Have an in-store activity or offer in-store. This could be anything from a colouring or craft competition, to offers and promotions aimed at children and their parents/carers.  
  • Have a FREE stall on Lemon Quay featuring a family-friendly activity, which also showcases your businessses. We’re open to ideas although this could be an art-activity, colouring table, science fun or game. The stalls are in gazebos where you would have a 3m by 1.5m space. Set up is from 8am, ready for 9am and pack down is a 4pm.

Children's Day is being kindly sponsored by Coodes Solicitors. To take part in Children’s Day, or to find out more, email us by Friday 17 April on: lindsey.craik@trurobid.co.uk
