A FREE festival is being held in St Austell on Saturday, August 17.

The family-friendly event, from 10am to 3pm, is part of a new NHS partnership health and wellbeing campaign called Healthier Together in the county.

People are being invited to go along to Poltair Park and find out what they can do to improve their health in a fun and interactive way.

Organiser Emma Lankford, of CN4C (Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change), said: “Get yourselves ready for a free festival full of fun and family activities - music, bubbles, singing, instruments, circus skills, gardening tips, cycling and so much more.”
