Help shape the future of The Poly and arts and culture in Falmouth

A much-loved arts centre in Falmouth is inviting the community to have their say and give input on shaping its long-term future.

The Poly will be running face to face sessions with community groups and running an online survey giving residents in Penryn and Falmouth an opportunity to have a say on events that the wider community would like to see held there, and improvements that could be made to the building.

The community engagement consultation has been funded by The Good Growth Fund and feedback will input into long term future planning.

The Poly is a multi-purpose arts centre with a cinema/theatre, pottery and Guild maker’s shop - holding live events, talks and exhibitions in a beautiful historic venue on the high street in the centre of the town. It also houses a full licensed café/bar, meeting spaces and the Falmouth History Archive.

General Manager Ed Cartwright said: “The Poly is at the heart of the community, and we really want to ensure that we're engaging all residents of Falmouth and Penryn, in terms of the events, workshops, shows, films that we put on. We'd love to hear from as many people as possible to give their thoughts and ideas on what they'd like to see us put on in the future.”

Ginny Button, Chair of The Poly said: “It's fantastic that the Good Growth Fund is funding this vital survey and the focus groups so we're able to speak with lots of different people in the local community to hear from them as to what sort of arts and other events they'd like to take part in the future.” 

It'll only take five minutes to complete the online survey here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/consultationforthepoly

All those completing the survey will be entered into a prize draw - with the chance to win two cinema tickets* (*standard cinema tickets only, excludes Q&As and specialised screenings).
