Craft and Produce Stalls
A wide range of local producers display and promote their quality goods in our stall section.
The Show Day Auction
The Show Day Auction, held at around 1:30pm, often features over 30 lots, all of which are generously donated by local businesses. Traditionally, the President of that year’s show will choose a charity and all of the proceeds raised from the auction goes to that chosen cause.
The 2025 auction, which was kindly conducted by Mr Ed Harris of Lodge & Thomas, raised over £2250 for the President’s chosen charity, The League of Friends of The Helston Community Hospital.
Our President for the 2026 show, Martin Wallis, has nominated The League of Friends of Helston Community Hospital as his chosen charity.
