The 2nd and 3rd September sees the second 

year of the Cornish Yarn Festival following its 

successful launch at Marazion in 2016. It is a 

festival of wool and crafts for those who like to 

be creative. 

This year’s festival will be held at the Lugger 

Hotel on the promenade of Penzance, the perfect 

venue to relax, enjoy the sea views and meet 

with like-minded people. You can also peruse 

the variety of stalls and pick up those essential 

In the seaside town of Zennor stands St Senara’s 

Church. Among the aisles sits a wooden chair 

thought to be over 500 years old, with a carving of 

a mermaid (or merrymaid), etched into its side. 

Local legend maintains that the carving is a depiction of 

an actual event in the Parish’s history. Matthew Trewhella 

was a gifted chorister whose beautiful voice is said to have 

lured a mermaid named Morveren from the seas. 

Legend has it that Morveren would disguise herself by 

covering her hair with a net and wearing a long dress that 

hid her tail. She would sneak into the back of the church 

each Sunday to hear Matthew sing, spellbound by his 

voice, and would disappear before the end of the song to 

avoid being seen. 

CORNISH YARN FESTIVAL 

bargain offers. There will be demonstrations 

and workshop opportunities based around 

wool crafts. Demonstrations include weaving, 

spinning, carding and machine knitting and you 

can also learn the arts of crochet and knitting. 

Admission is free all weekend, there are 

refreshments available and the festival runs from 

10am to 4pm on both days. 

For further information, you can call 

01736 874455. www.harbour-wools.co.uk 

THE MERMAID OF ZENNOR 

Morveren remained undetected by the parishioners until 

one Sunday; As Matthew sang a particularly lovely song 

she couldn’t help but let out a long and sweet sigh. Her 

exclaim was heard by Matthew and as he looked up the 

net slipped from her hair exposing her beauty to him. 

The mermaid fled, but tripped and was caught by 

Matthew. Realising the congregation were in pursuit 

Matthew ran into the sea with the beautiful Morweren 

and disappeared never to be seen again. 

It is said that Matthew and Morweren live happily beneath 

the waves and that to this day they sing together giving 

warning to fishermen of bad storms approaching or 

to notify them of fine weather. On a warm and calm 

Summer evening if you listen carefully you may just hear 

their beautiful tones emanating from the ocean.

THE BOATSHED PENZANCE 

Fresh Fish and a Foodie Favourite 

Situated in a prime location on 

the harbourside of Penzance The 

Boatshed Café Bar is a popular 

choice for locals and visitors alike. 

Boasting a lively yet relaxed atmosphere 

the ethos of The Boatshed centres around 

fresh flavours and locally caught seafood. 

Priding itself on a menu derived from 

fresh locally sourced ingredients there is 

something to suit all tastes. 

Well known for their popular chargrilled 

West Country steaks and delicious fish 

dishes (The whole Seabass grilled with 

garlic, ginger and coriander and finished 

with a citrus butter is a firm favourite) 

it is the perfect location to enjoy a 

Summer evening. 

Whether you are looking for a light lunch, 

three course evening meal or simply a 

coffee and piece of delicious homemade 

cake The Boatshed can accommodate. 

The restaurant can also cater for private 

functions of up to a hundred people and 

has a license until 1am. 

“We were in Penzance for the Golowan 

Festival and looking for somewhere to eat 

on the Sunday night when we spotted the 

Boatshed. Once we saw fresh Dover Sole 

on the menu we were hooked. That evening 

we had one of the best fish meals ever, 

the Dover Sole was cooked to perfection 

without any of the fancy trimmings that 

seem to be the norm these days. The service 

from Louise and the rest of the staff was 

excellent, friendly but efficient. If you are 

ever in Penzance check out the Boatshed 

and enjoy a wonderful meal.”

Prussia Cove, a picturesque spot in 

Penwith just East of Cudden Point 

has an intriguing past; notorious for 

its gangs of Smugglers and Wreckers. 

Originally known as ‘Slab Cove’ or ‘Porthleah’ 

in Cornish, but later known as Prussia Cove 

after its infamous Eighteenth-Century Smuggler 

John Carter. 

John was nicknamed ‘The King Of Prussia’ as 

a boy as he was said to resemble Frederick The 

Great - the King of Prussia. The area later took 

on his nickname and became ‘Prussia Cove’ in 

recollection of his smuggling exploits. 

John Carter and his brothers Harry and Charles 

rented the cove and are considered to be among 

some of the most famous of all Cornish Smugglers. 

The Carter family embarked upon their 

smuggling antics during a period in history where 

wars raged between America and France leaving 

seaborne trade wide open to criminal activity. 

Prussia Cove is made up of three of smaller 

coves; Kings Cove, Pisky’s Cove and Bessie’s 

Cove (named after Bessy Bussow who kept the 

Ale house). 

PRUSSIA COVE 

A Smuggler’s Paradise 

Sheltered by the rocky headland their sandy 

beaches were ideal for landings and their caves 

perfect for storing smuggler’s contraband. 

John Carter built a large house which acted as a 

hideout, directly into a remote cliff above one of the 

large caves. Many of the cove’s caves were reputed to 

be connected to the house via secret passages. 

Carter also built a discreet harbour which could 

only be seen by leaning over the edge of the 

clifftop above. The Carter brother’s smuggling 

success derived from the fact that they owned 

two vessels, had extensive knowledge of both 

the Cornish and French coasts and their house 

boasted vast cellars, lofts and salt houses perfect 

for storing their wares. 

Despite being a Smuggler John Carter was a 

well-respected member of the community. 

He was described as a fair and honest man; a 

particular example of this being the time that in 

his absence a recent cargo of tea was confiscated 

by Excise officers. Carter broke into the Customs 

House one night with his men to regain his 

goods, but was careful to take only his contraband, 

not touching a single thing confiscated 

from other people. 

Over the years The Carters led a colourful and 

successful smuggling life which eventually came 

to an end with John selling the house in 1803 

at a time when the cove was evolving. A copper 

mine was opened at the site and coal for the 

mine was landed in place of smuggled goods. In 

1825 the building of a Coastguards Station put 

an end to the days of smuggling at Prussia Cove. 

To this day you can still see the grooves in the 

rocks that were made to guide the wheels of the 

smugglers carts. These tracks were said to lead 

into a cave housing a secret passageway which 

connected the beach and the Ale House; the 

perfect destination for the contraband alcohol! 

Remains of The Ale House still stand and are 

part of what is now Cliff Cottage. 

As well as boasting a fascinating history Prussia 

Cove is a stunning area of Penwith perfect for a 

day on the beach. It is renowned for being one 

of the best places in the area for snorkelling, and 

whether Summer or Winter its scenery makes it 

a captivating place to walk. 

To be able to explore the smugglers caves, literally 

walking in the footsteps of the Smugglers 

brings this landmark and its fascinating history 

to life. I guess you could say that John Carter, 

literally left his mark on the area and set his 

smuggling history in stone!

Sand Clay Keepsakes 

KID’S CRAFT CORNER 

Keep the kids occupied this Summer Holiday! 

This craft uses real sand to create a clay which 

can be cooked to make lovely keepsakes and 

models. We are going to explain how to make 

handprint keepsakes; You can decorate them 

with shells and pebbles from a trip to the 

beach… A unique memory of your holiday. 

YOU WILL NEED: 

• 1 and a ½ cups of plain flour (all purpose) 

• 1 cup of warm water 

• 1 and ¼ cups of salt 

This will make four balls of the clay, perfect 

for four children, but can be halved if only two 

children are taking part. 

Method 

• Mix the sand, flour and salt in bowl, slowly adding 

warm water, stirring throughout with a large 

spoon. (Measurements of the dry ingredients can 

make a difference to the stickiness/ dryness of the 

dough so add water carefully. If mixture feels too 

sticky add more flour or sand) 

• Once combined remove from bowl and begin to 

knead on a lightly floured surface. (It should take 

less than a minute to merge in to a pliable ball 

similar in feel to play dough or salt dough.) 

• Roll, cut, and air or oven dry the clay in the same 

way as salt dough from this point forward. ( I split 

the ball into four pieces and roll them one by one, 

into circular shapes about 2 cm thick). 

• Roll directly on to a large baking parchment sheet 

• Once dough is rolled into circles ask the children 

to push their hand into the centre of their piece 

pushing each finger down firmly, then carefully 

remove child’s hand to reveal their handprint in 

the dough. 

• Using small shells from beach trips and party craft 

supplies children can decorated around the borders 

turning these into real beach keepsakes treasures. 

• Place into the oven at 120 degrees Celsius (approx 

250 F) to dry out for around 4 hours. The sand 

dough will dry hard at differing times depending 

on the thickness of the dough discs. (It is important 

that they are not too thick as this will mean 

that they remain a little doughy in the middle. If 

you find they are hard on the top but not underneath, 

take them out and gently turn them over, 

putting them back into the oven for another hour 

or two to harden the underside.) 

• You can add a clay glaze over the top to seal them 

and/or give a shiny effect, or leave as they are for a 

more beach like look and feel. 

CRAFTING FOR ADULTS 

Because it’s not always about the kids! 

Make Your Own Pebble Mat 

A really simple craft idea with amazing results! 

YOU WILL NEED: 

• A Rubber mat 

• Pebbles 

• A tub of contact cement 

Method 

• Apply the contact cement to the mat a patch at a time. 

• Place pebbles on to cement a patch at a time; if you don’t want 

the placement of the pebbles to look too uniformed start in the 

middle. If you prefer a uniformed look add the pebbles in lines. 

• Leave to dry for at least 24 hours before walking on the mat. 

Other Variations: 

• Cut the rubber mat into long slim rectangles before adding the 

pebbles to make a table runner. 

• Section the mat into placemats by drawing around a placemat 

then cutting out the shapes (use pebbles of the same thickness 

for these). 

• Make coasters (use pebbles of the same thickness for these). 

• Make a Trivet (use pebbles of the same thickness for this). 

You could paint and varnish the pebbles before adding to the mat 

for a more personalised effect.

MATT LINCOLN PAINTINGS 

Exhibited at Blacks of Chapel Street 

Born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire in 1978, Artist Matt Lincoln lived in 

South Wales until 2008 where he indulged in his passions for fly fishing and 

sea fishing. A keen kayaker from a young age Matt has always had a love for the 

water; the subject of many of his paintings. 

Most Childhood Summers were spent with his Grandmother on the North 

Coast of Cornwall and he fondly remembers the scenic walks from Portreath 

to Hayle. A job opportunity in 2011 led to Matt’s relocation to Cornwall, the 

perfect setting for an Artist with a love of Nature and the Water. 

Matt is thrilled to have the opportunity to exhibit his work at Blacks of Chapel 

Street. The exhibition launched on Sunday 23rd July and will run until October.

THE MINACK THEATRE 

The theatre carved from a cliff 

MAMBO AND PIXIE’S 

Furry Friend of the month 

One of West Cornwall’s most prevalent landmarks, 

the origins of The Minack Theatre in 

Porthcurno tell a fascinating tale. 

Following the First World War a lady by the name of 

Rowena Cade moved to Cornwall along with her Mother 

and built a house on land at Minack Point. 

In 1929 a group of village players staged a production 

of Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in a 

nearby meadow at Crean, repeating the performance 

the following year. When the players decided that their 

next performance was to be ‘The Tempest’, Rowena 

Cade offered her garden by the sea as venue. 

With the help of her Gardener Billy Rawlings, Rowena 

constructed rough seating and a terrace by hauling 

materials from the house and from the beach below via 

the windy path to the cliffside. 

In 1932 ‘The Tempest’ was performed, with the sea as 

the play’s dramatic backdrop it was a rousing success. 

Vowing to improve the theatre Rowena, with the help of 

Billy Rawlings and his friend Charles Angove worked 

tirelessly during the Winters throughout her life so that 

others could perform through the Summer months. 

In 1955 the Minack’s first dressing rooms were built. In 

the 1970s, the theatre was managed by Lawrence Shove 

a renowned British sound recordist. 

Rowena worked on improving her beloved theatre well 

into her eighties, and over the years developed skills 

such as decorating cement surfaces with the tip of a 

screwdriver, etching beautiful Celtic designs and lettering 

in to them before the cement hardened and dried. 

The theatre was registered as a Charitable Trust in 1976 

and is now run by a local management team. 

The Minack Theatre truly was a labour of love for 

Rowena, upon her death it was discovered she had even 

left sketches suggesting ways in which the theatre could 

be covered in rainy weather. 

Despite Rowena’s death in 1983 at the age of eightynine 

the Cade family continued their involvement in 

the theatre; the General Manger of the Minack in 2015 

was married to Rowena’s great niece. 

The Minack Theatre is a marvel, and all who visit should 

look around in awe and remember the extraordinary 

woman who almost single-handedly fashioned this wonder 

from a Cornish cliff-face over eighty years ago. 

About Me 

Hi there! I’m Barney and I arrived at the Centreoriginally 

in 2015 as my owner had sadly passed 

away. I found a new home but have had to come 

back to the Centre recently as my new owner has 

been taken poorly and can no longer care for me. 

Therefore, I’m looking for a new home which I 

hope will be my forever one. I’m 7 years old and, 

although I have previously lived with another cat, 

I am happier as an only cat really. I like to spend 

a lot of time outside but I am also a sociable boy 

and am happy being around people and having a 

fuss once I know you. I haven’t lived with children 

before but I would probably adapt to being in a 

home with older children but I’m afraid I’m not a 

big fan of dogs so couldn’t live with them.

NEWLYN FISH FESTIVAL 

A celebration of the sea 

August Bank Holiday Monday sees the much anticipated 28th annual 

Newlyn Fish Festival…one of the biggest and best celebrations 

of the sea, seafood and fishing in the country. 

In its history, the festival has donated £265,000 to The Fishermen’s Mission 

to benefit the Cornish Fishermen who are constantly at risk from the elements 

as they land fish for our plates. 

The 2016 event alone resulted in a donation of £15,000 to The Mission as 

well as helping local youth groups. 

The festival will include fish cookery 

demonstrations, displays, two music 

stages, luggers in the harbour, trawlers 

racing, gigs sprinting, children’s 

rides, entertainment and a variety of 

fabulous food to enjoy as well as local 

art and craft stalls to explore. 

Celebrations begin on the Sunday, 

the eve of the festival as the fishing 

community come together to acknowledge 

the work of the festival’s 

patron, the Fisherman’s Mission who 

work tirelessly to serve the needs of 

our local fisherman be they financial, 

mental or physical in the event on 

infirmity, misfortune or accident. 

At 6.45pm on the Sunday you can join the Fish Festival crew on Newlyn 

Green as they gather together with Fishermen’s Mission staff to lay the Newlyn 

Fish Festival wreath of remembrance at the feet of ‘Tom’ Newlyn’s memorial to 

all those fishermen lost at sea. 

The wreath laying is followed by The Fisherman’s Mission’s traditional 

‘Blessing of the Fleet’ remembrance service which take place in the marquee 

in the harbour at 7pm. 

Why not make an evening of it on the Sunday which also sees The Centre 

on Chywoone Hill host ‘Last Night of the Cornish Proms’; a celebration of 

Cornish songs. Entry is £6 and includes a pasty and a cup of tea. 

Newlyn Fish Festival 2017 takes place on Monday 28th August, For more

in some of those expectations for many, creating 

money worries when approaching retirement. A 

well-chosen Equity Release scheme can alleviate 

these worries and pave the way to a comfortable 

retirement... So, if you’re a homeowner, aged 

over 55 and looking for additional funds, then an 

Equity Release plan may be your solution. 

Our Equity Release Advisors are qualified experts 

who can provide you with professional, impartial 

advice in order to plan a brighter retirement, 

specifically designed for you. 

Releasing Cash From Your Home 

There are a number of different Equity Release 

options available which allow you to raise 

funds based on the value of your home, as a 

Lifetime Loan. 

With some Equity Release plans you are not 

required to pay off any capital or interest at 

any point during your lifetime. Effectively, the 

provider of the loan reclaims the capital (plus 

any accumulated interest) through the eventual 

sale of your property, once the final plan-holder 

dies or moves into long-term care.

Key Factors of Equity Release 

• You must be aged 55 or over, have a property worth at least 

£75,000 and be able to release a minimum of £15,000. 

• You must use the cash sum released to pay off any existing 

outstanding mortgage. 

• You retain legal ownership of your home. 

• You can safeguard a percentage of your home’s value with an 

inheritance guarantee. 

• You’re protected with a no negative equity guarantee, so you, or 

your estate, will never pay back more than you receive from the 

eventual sale of your home. 

• There are no monthly repayments. Instead, interest is added 

to the loan each year. The loan and interest are repaid in full, 

usually from the sale of your home, when you die or go into 

long-term care. 

• Releasing equity can affect your tax position and eligibility for 

welfare benefits. 

• Equity Release isn’t suitable if you have savings you could use 

instead, or would prefer to sell all, or part of your home, or 

downsize. 

• It will reduce the amount of inheritance you can leave. 

Equity Release is a lifetime mortgage or home reversion scheme.
