It’s time to up the comfort levels of Helston Old Chapel. We know our pews are not exactly snuggly and you can spot our regulars by who brings a cushion with them to events!

It’s ok, we’ve got a plan…

Thanks to a fabulous volunteer duo (Jude and Catherine) from Helston Makes It, we hope to create a unique cushion for each pew, transforming wooden boards into comfy benches. Our cushions will be inspired by church hassocks (kneeling cushions) and will feature community-made textile panels themed around: Helston 2054.

OUR WORKSHOP

”Weave Your Vision into Helston’s Future” by becoming a Community Cushion Maker!

We’re hosting our first drop-in cushion creation workshop on 5th October from 1-4pm at the chapel as part of the national Fun Palaces scheme.

No sewing or creative experience is necessary and all of the materials will be provided.

Just come along with an idea about something you want to see in Helston in 2054 and our crack creative team will help you to turn your vision into cushion reality! Each panel will have a label celebrating the designer.
