Play It Again!

Play It Again!
One Blue Eye
Saturday 18th July | 11am–3pm

FREE EVENT – part of Playful Park

This summer, Coronation Park is getting seriously colourful, but before Playful Park launches on 26th July, there’s work to do – and this is where you come in.

Play It Again is a hands-on creative session with Helston’s own One Blue Eye – the brilliant recycled plastic workshop based right here in town, led by maker Matt Nott. Together, we’ll transform waste plastic into game-playing pieces for the new floor mural. These are the pieces that families will pick up and play with all summer – and you’ll have helped make them.

This isn’t just a workshop. It’s about rolling up your sleeves, getting creative, and playing your part in getting Coronation Park ready for its most colourful summer yet. Whether you’re five or fifty-five, come along, get stuck in, and know that when you see families playing on that mural in August, you helped make it happen.

Part of the build-up to the Playful Park launch on 26th July.

What is Playful Park?

Playful Park our 2026 project transforming Coronation Park into a vibrant destination for family fun all summer long. At its heart is a spectacular giant painted floor mural designed by local artist Lisa Curtis – packed with games for all ages, free to play and here to stay as a permanent new addition to the park.

Alongside the mural, there’s an interactive running track, community bunting-making, the Big Scribble (where you get to draw all over the paths!), a two-day games expo, busking from local young musicians, Play in a Day with the Minack, roaming Commedia dell’arte, Wake the Giant, a family sports day and much more running right through the summer holidays.
