Steam up! 
Steam engines from all over the country line up in Basset Road and then parade through the town at approximately 3.30pm.
It’s a magnificent sight, not to be missed.
We have fair organs and miniatures on display. 
Don't forget the stationary engines behind the library too. 

Entertainment for all ages

Entertainers, musicians, jugglers and theatre groups perform throughout the day. As well as our four stages for local bands and singing groups.
Don't forget to go and see the vintage cars on Union Street and tractors on Chapel Street  too.
All for FREE!!

Lots of things indoors

Schools competition entries and art exhibition at the Masonic Hall, model exhibitions at Camborne Community Centre, the Centenary Chapel flower festival, and many more events to be added soon.
We also have choirs singing in the Wesley Chapel but don't forget the choir stage on Church Street where there are even more choirs singing.

Enjoy your day out!

There’s a carnival atmosphere in Camborne on Trevithick Day as its main streets are closed to traffic for the day and steam engines, street stalls, bands and entertainers take over the town. 
Rosewarne car park is transformed into a funfair and many of Camborne’s buildings are home to displays or offer refreshments.
Come along and eat and drink as well as enjoy the entertainments!
