Truro Children's Day 2024

We brought Children’s Day back to Truro City Centre for the seventh year, on Saturday 6 July, with lots of mostly free entertainment and activities for families to enjoy.

We organised spectacular mountain bike stunt shows and family fun on Lemon Quay. Walking and cycling charity Sustrans were back with their free scooter, balance and pedal bike obstacle course for children, plus their exciting static cycle activity for young people to improve their off-road skills. Bikes and helmets provided.
 
There were have-a-go sessions in circus skills with Swamp Circus, and this year dance performances from Cornwall Dance School, Jason Thomas Performing Arts and Stagecoach Truro. Children enjoyed swing boat rides, along with family-friendly crazy golf, craft activities and stalls. Some street entertainment popped up across the city and we were delighted to have nearly 30 shops and eateries taking part with special in-store activities and offers for families on the day. 
 
Many activities were free. Children’s Day was brought to the city by Truro BID and sponsored by Coodes Solicitors.
