CAST’s ‘Golden October’ weekend will celebrate the renewal of CAST’s roofs, with ‘Open Studios’ and a wealth of creative activity to join in with.
The entire CAST building, including CAST Café and Clay Trap, will be open for the Golden October weekend. There will be free printmaking and pottery activities, free family drop-in workshops, and some quieter, more in-depth sessions available to book onto for a fee. We’re also planning a selection of guided walks exploring Helston and the local area. Look out for full listings and booking details in our October newsletter.
Our ‘Golden October’ weekend will celebrate completion of the project to renew CAST’s roofs – including fitting solar panels, adding insulation, renovating and redecorating the fine Venetian Gothic windows, and replacing roof lights – an undertaking that will make the building more resilient and extend its life for many years to come.
This significant programme of work, along with many of CAST’s learning activities during 2023 and 2024, has been made possible by funding by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Some renovations will continue through the winter months, but, at this important milestone, we want to invite the whole community to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of the investment in this special heritage building – a place for art, culture and learning that is open to all.
