Friday 11th April (evening)- Check-in available from 5pm in the reception area of the Burrell Theatre. A social evening is planned for this evening including a Cornish pasty supper, bar and dancing in the Refectory! Please come and join us.

Welcome to Cornwall and Truro School

Please make sure you have Registered in the Burrell Theatre and collected all the necessary information. Registration is available from: 5pm Friday 11th and from 9am on Saturday 12th/Sunday 13th April. Please read the House Keeping notices below. Unfortunately the School swimming pool is unavailable this weekend - there is always the sea if you are brave enough!

Truro City is a short steep walk from Truro School. The gothic-revival Cathedral rises 76 m (249 ft) above the city at its highest spire and is well worth a visit. The Cathedral has a selection of concerts on this weekend if you want to sit and listen rather than play! Truro also has a selection of chain stores, speciality shops and markets, which reflect its historic tradition as a market town. The City is also popular for its eateries.

We hope you have an enjoyable weekend! Sarah (MD), Sue, (Treasurer ) Helen (Secretary) and Zoe (Organiser)
