Welcoming our local community
We’re opening our doors for our annual Community Day, where we welcome our local neighbours and invite the public onto our Falmouth University Campus at Woodlane.
Along with free activities such as garden games, there will also be creative workshops for all ages.
What's more, this year our Community Day also coincides with our incredible Degree Shows, where you can uncover some of the best emerging creative talent.
