About Fencing in Helston
Helston in Cornwall hosts one of the country's oldest surviving May customs, Flora Day, held every 8th of May unless it falls on a Sunday or Monday, centred on the Helston Furry Dance, in which dancers in their Sunday best wind through the streets and in and out of houses in four separate dances starting as early as seven in the morning. The custom, thought to blend pagan spring celebrations with the feast of the town's patron saint, has changed little in the past two hundred years, with records dating back to at least 1802.
