Norris Museum is leading a special anniversary programme, in partnership with local organisations, to recognise its enduring importance to the town of St Ives. You can find out more on the museum’s website at norrismuseum.org.uk . What with this and a selection box of summer music, menus, art, theatre, comedy, festivals and family fun across the region (find out more in our cover story, beginning on page 8), there’s so much to enjoy in the weeks and months ahead. So why not get out there and fill your days with sunshine! Oh, and one more thing before I sign off: this month we’re also holding a reader survey, giving you the chance to share your feedback on the magazine and help us keep evolving it for the community. It’s quick and easy to fill in, and you could be in with a chance of winning a rather delicious prize! Turn to page 81 for the details – we’d love to hear from you.
