Lafrowda 2017

St Just's wonderful Lafrowda arts festival has been and gone for another year, and we'd like to thank all the organisers and helpers for another great fortnight. The climax of the festival was Saturday 15th July, with street markets, three processions, and live art and music through the day and well into the night.
Our stall opening at 10am on fore Street, at first run by Fran, and later by Deborah and Alice.

Our willow sculpture in the 10pm lantern procession, built over the fortnight by Jo, Kate, Alice, and other volunteers.

Our willow sculpture this year depicted three butterflies on three flowers, with the Lafrowda theme being "Where the Wild Things Are".

Close-ups of our amazing butterfly sculpture.
Bosavern Community Farm would like to thank all our volunteers who contributed to our involvement in this year's Lafrowda festival.
