The Library is moving!

Earlier this month we posted about the relocation of Camborne Library and we now have an official moving date…

The library in the Basset Centre will be closed from Monday 11^th November to Friday 15^th November while the move to the is underway and it will reopen on the morning of Saturday November 16^th in the Passmore Edwards Building (The Cross, Cross St). From next Monday (4^th Nov), Camborne Community Larder will be operating from  Camborne Community Centre on South Terrace.

The temporary relocation is necessary to enable work on the Basset Community Hub ‘Town Deal’ project and on completion in 2026, the library will move back into a brand new community hub. Camborne Town Council and Camborne Library apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but we hope you are as excited as we are about the future of this service.

A key part of the town’s Christmas celebrations for more than ten years, Camborne Town Councils’ 2024 Children’s Lantern Parade will take place on Friday 29th November as part of a collaborative ‘Christmas Lights Switch-On Day’ delivered by Camborne Town Council and BID Camborne.

This much anticipated event is a great favourite with young and old alike. It is expected the combination of the Town’s Light Switch-On, Lantern Parade and Christmas Tree Festival will bring the whole town together to celebrate Christmas with light, music and a whole lot of fun!

Camborne’s Remembrance Parade will be held on Sunday 10th November 2024.

The parade will depart from the square at 10:15, and will head around through Union and Cross Street, down to Tyacks roundabout and congregate outside the Church.
