How to Enjoy
City of Lights 2015
Plan your viewing spot
Boscawen Street, Lower Lemon Street and St
Nicholas Street are always busy. Good spots
for children and families are towards the top
of Lemon Street.
Plan your journey into town
All the car parks are open and the Park
& Ride will be in full operation. The road
closures in the centre of the city will be in
place on a phased basis from 3pm so do plan
your journey. All of the main arterial roads
remain open throughout but there will be a lot
of traffic. Trains and buses will be operating
to their usual schedule although some bus
routes will be amended whilst we close Green
Street (7–9pm).
Follow the theme
This year’s theme is the ‘Museum of Lost
Stories’, curated in partnership with Royal
Cornwall Museum and the archives of the
Royal Institution of Cornwall. Watch out for
lanterns inspired by fascinating artefacts and
gems from our past. Share your stories and
follow us on social media #YourCOL.
Support the event with a donation
The event costs around £30,000 to put on
each year – including withy, paper, candles
and lighting, materials, artist’s expertise,
security and insurances. Support us by making
a charitable donation so we can continue to
light up Truro with this stunning event.
Food & drink
All the usual eateries in Truro will be open
throughout the event and there will be a
variety of food traders operating from 3pm
on Lemon Quay, Boscawen Street and King
Street. If you want to eat in, remember to
book your table in advance.
Crowds
City of Lights is a fantastic community
event that attracts a lot of people into the
city centre so please travel light and avoid
bringing pushchairs or prams into the highly
crowded areas in Boscawen Street, Lemon
Quay, and St Nicholas Street.
Entertainment
There will be street performances around the
city before and after the procession itself.
As well as the switching-on of the Totally Truro
BID-funded Christmas lights.
thank you to everyone who supports us

Important
information
about 2015’s event
Disabled viewing area
There will be designated disabled viewing
areas on Lower Lemon Street (which is
ticketed, spaces limited) and on River
Street outside Royal Cornwall Museum.
More information about these is available
on the City of Lights website.
Visit www.cityoflights.org.uk to
book your place.
Selected alleyways and opes within Truro
city centre will be closed during the
event. This includes Roberts Ope (between
Lower Lemon Street and Boscawen Street
) and Cathedral Lane, in the direction from
St Mary’s Street onto Boscawen Street (exit
from Boscawen Street via Cathedral Lane
will be permitted).
The north side of St Nicholas Street
opposite NatWest will also be closed to
spectators, to allow the parade to safely
access this narrow part of Truro.
Due to the popularity of the event,
some areas of the city centre get very
congested. We ask for your cooperation
if the stewards ask you to move to a
less congested area.
