Story Quest Day

Story Quest Day
Trevow Helston & The Writers’ Block
Saturday 30th May

FREE EVENT

From coats with too many pockets, to weird and wonderful objects, to a cast of unexpected characters, Story Quest Day is a creative outdoor adventure where stories come to life across the park. Solve the riddles to find hidden objects, create pocket stories, invent your own wild and wacky character and be entertained by the fabulous Story Republic!

Story Quest Day is the grand finale of The Story Lab – a week-long celebration of words and stories that transforms Helston into a living literary adventure across the May half term. Throughout the week, Trevow Helston teams up with Cornwall’s writing centre, The Writers’ Block, to bring workshops, events and drop-in sessions to venues all over town — from memoir writing and manga workshops to poetry, zine-making, an open mic speakeasy and The Story Lab at Trevow Chapel, where you can become a Story Inventor and create your own characters and stories.

Story Quest Day brings the adventure outdoors and into Coronation Park for a creative family day to round off the week.

Perfect for curious minds, budding writers and anyone who loves a good tale.
