About the event
We’re opening up our Falmouth University Campus at Woodlane for our Community Day: where we fling open our doors to our local neighbours and invite the public onto campus.
Along with free activities such as children's art classes, there will also be street food, live music, plant sales and student art sales, as well as guided tours of our beautiful sub-tropical campus gardens!
You can also try our arts and crafts creative workshops to put together your very own masterpiece.
What's more, this year our Community Day also coincides with our incredible graduate summer shows, where you can uncover some of the best emerging creative talent.
