A second date has been announced for Prince Charles and Camilla's royal visit to Cornwall next week.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall are visiting Mousehole on Monday (18th July) where they will meet local people and community groups at the Solomon Browne Hall.
Now it has been revealed the couple will be in Launceston on Tuesday (19th July) to attend a special Royal Market in the town square.
Launceston Town Council, supported by local event management company Miss Ivy Events, will be staging a very special market to mark the occasion and showcase the very best that Cornwall has to offer.
From giftware by talented artisan crafters to local produce, including honey, crepes and even a Gin bar, there’ll be an array of goods, and food and drink for the Royal guests to sample.
Meanwhile children from local schools will perform the inaugural ‘Lanson Dons’ whilst local saxophonist Split Notes, and opera singer Cordelia Nuttall provide sublime live music entertainment.
The Royal Couple will meet and chat to traders and locals alike.
Launceston's Mayor, Cllr Leighton Penhale, said: “During The Duke of Cornwall’s 70th Anniversary year, Their Royal Highnesses will visit Launceston where His Royal Highness was proclaimed The Duke of Cornwall in 1973, and Launceston Town Council are delighted to be welcoming Their Royal Highnesses to our town.
"On the day, everyone will be welcome to join the fun and, who knows, perhaps even meet The Duke and Duchess in person."
