Helifest returns to Cornwall with family fun day

Helifest, Cornwall Air Ambulance's blue light festival, is to return to the county on Saturday.

The day of events will take place at Scorrier House, Redruth, between 11:00 and 19:00 BST.

The family fun festival aims to celebrate the work of Cornwall Air Ambulance and Cornwall's other blue light services.

During the day, visitors can meet local services where children can explore the various emergency vehicles, watch live demonstrations, listen to local live music and buy goods from Cornish traders.

The force's second lifesaving helicopter will also be on show to the public for the first time at the festival.
