Helston Old Chapel
Our new home
Trevow Helston has been granted a 30 year lease on the disused cemetery chapel on Meneage Road in Helston. Our ambition is to repurpose the chapel into a welcoming space to share and develop high-quality and aspirational creative arts and community engagement projects.
With seating for a hundred people and sumptuous acoustics, we believe this small chapel is the perfect place for artists to develop and share creative work. It will also give Trevow Helston roots from which to branch out, a home of our own in the town.
The chapel has been important to the community for over a hundred years and our ambition is to once again open its doors to the people of Helston, creating a place of hope, aspiration and joy.
We are very aware of the sensitive nature of the building and its surroundings for people locally and we are committed to listening to and working alongside, anyone who has a connection to Helston Cemetery. We will be launching a community engagement programme later this year to start talking to people about how they can get involved and what, together, we can make happen for the town.
