Bodmin Riding is a celebration unique to the town. Featuring in parts some of the town’s history and some myths surrounding the beast which is chased by the Helliers, a posse of young men dedicated to pursuing and capturing the Beast. Throughout the morning they can be seen chasing the Beast through the town. Once captured the Beast is put on trial by the Ragadaziow in a specially devised Mummers Play focusing on Bodmins’ cultural and historical past. Children from local schools will be in procession along with the bands dancing to the Bodmin Riding music down Fore Street and onto Mount Folly where they will be judged by the Mayor and his Consort. In the Shire House there will be a Craft Fair. During the day you will be able to hear the Town Criers from across the region competing against each other. Later in the afternoon there will be Cornish Wrestling in the Priory Park organised by the Cornish Wrestling Association. There will be roving entertainment throughout the day along Fore Street and on the Folly from many bands and performers and a beastly ball at the Shire House Suite in the evening. Further activities in the park include a Future Heritage Stage for young performers, DJ’s, stage managers etc, we will also have other entertainment for your enjoyment. The Riding Day procession on Sunday is a commemoration of St Petroc which starts at St Marys Church passing down through the town carrying the saints bones onto the Folly and then into the Priory for a short service before the main service in St Petrocs Church then onto St Thomas’s chapel followed by the distribution of Riding Ale. On Saturday for those who like to browse, Fore Street will be traffic free, shops will be open and trade stalls in the street. Journey back in time and take a ride on the Bodmin & Wenford steam railway who will be running their usual timetable. Fingers crossed for some good weather over the weekend, so come along into the town and enjoy yourselves. Colin R Bell.

The name of Cornwall's County Town, Bodmin, means `Abode of the Monks' and at the time of the Domesday Book, it was the only town in Cornwall to have a market. We know that in 1469 that there were many Guilds in the Town-Guilds were made up of people who worked in a specific trade. All the drapers were associated together into one guild or community, and all the corn merchants into a second, and all the bootmakers into a third, and so on. Each guild had its own guildhall, its own patron saint, and its own chaplain. Some had their own Altar in the Parish Church of Saint Petroc. It was the guilds which came forward, when the old Church, which stood on the site of the present parish church, of which only the tower, and the font are now left, was falling into ruin. They said: 'We cannot let our Parish Church fall into decay - here is the money needed - build it up again' and the present church is basically what they rebuilt! It is truly the Parish Church of the people of Bodmin. The tradespeople were religious folk, they were all church people and on Riding Day they all came to thank God for their trade and celebrate their patron saints. Riding Ale was then distributed around the homes of the town. In recent times Bodmin has revived the age-old celebration - the Riding Service now takes place on the first Sunday morning in July when the patron saints and people of the Guilds are remembered with thanksgiving. This is followed by Riding Ale being served in the ruins of Saint Thomas' Chapel and the Rectory Garden.

The Ragadaziow lament the death of the Beast; Do not weep for the beast who lies bleeding in chains; he hears not your words and he knows not your pains. We will cut off his brush and we'll peg out his hide and we'll plant us a furse bush to show where he died. Beyond the wide reaches of Halgavor Mire, he led us a chase 'til the best of us tired. He led us a chase for six hours at full cry, but now like the evening sun he must die. (From an old folksong) But the Beast of Bodmin has life in him yet; Blewake coynt ha hager yw; [hairy and strange and ugly it is] Bucka noos; [spirit of the night] Ny won pane veast ylla boos; [I don't know what sort of beast it is] (from 'Creacion of the World' by William Jordan, 1611) St Petroc saves the day; In comes I your Patron Saint My bones is in that box I hope you will remember that This whole town is Saint Petroc's I seen this Dragon in its Pit out on Halgavor Mire With God's good help, I'll calm it down and soon put out its fire Good folk of Bodmin let's hear the shout Of 'Kernow bys Vyken!' go ringing out.

An Gwary Bosvenna (The Bodmin Play) is performed at various public houses and other locations throughout Riding Day. After much tireless pusuit (and testing of Riding Ale) the final Trial of the Beast is held at Mount Folly at 4pm. The play is a whistle-stop romp through the entirety of Cornish History in just 15 minutes. Drawing on traditional Cornish mummers plays, ancient manuscripts, folklore, gossip and TV celebrity culture the play is a subversive celebration of the independant and rebellious Cornish spirit. Justice Jan Tregeagle arraigns the Beast of Bodmin; Beast! You are charged with Beastly Behaviour, You are Wild and Rude, Unkempt and Uncivilised, Your Rampaging has spread Clamour and Alarm, You have Disturbed the Peace, And Frightened the Children. You are a Deviation from the Acceptable You are, Sirrah, an Affront to Decency! How do you plead? Your dumb insolence shouts your guilt! The Ragadaziow sympathise; Hogen, dysk an musur, Kernow, dysk godhevel! But learn the beat of the dance, Cornwall, learn to suffer! (From 'the Prophecies of Merlin', 13th Century) Are the Cornish going to put up with it? We the Cornish men, whereof certain of us understand no English, utterly refuse this new English!
