Don't forget to vote today! You may think 'What does it matter?' but with government handing over increasing power, particularly to CornwallCouncil,whoever is elected to be your councillor will have a real say in decision making over the next 4 years.Make sure they have YOUR say.

I've written about what it is like inside No. 10 - from canapés to the Love Actually staircase, and getting shouted at by a Downing Street police officer 🫣! falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/25…

I found out what it’s really like inside No. 10 Downing Street

What really lurks behind the glossy black door to Number 10 Downing Street when it closes behind MPs? Falmouth Packet Head of Content Emma Ferguson…

An exceptional night of theatre at the @HallforCornwall, with Stephen Daldry's re-telling of An Inspector Calls even more relevant today than ever. (And the staging is astonishing!) falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/25…

Stephen Daldry's An Inspector Calls is a must-see while in Cornwall

You’d do well to be amongst the audience of this National Theatre production, which features powerful imagery to match its equally powerful…

Only got to chat with Lisa off #TheTraitors yesterday 🤩! And she's as lovely in person (well, on the phone) as she comes across on screen. *Warning: This article contains spoilers from the show up to this point* falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/24…

We chat to Cornwall's Lisa from The Traitors about castle life and Claudia

She described TV presenter Claudia Winkleman is “exactly as you see; an absolute delight.”

Every industry has had another difficult year; the news industry is no exception. But receiving a beautiful Christmas hamper in the post from work makes the effort and dedication required feel that bit more appreciated. #SoPretty! 🎄🎀

This year's @HallforCornwall panto is just joyful from start to finish - and dare I say, even better than last year?! If you're still in two minds, read my review - and if you still haven't decided after that, just go anyway! 💚 🫘 falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/24…

2024 Hall for Cornwall panto has more than just glitter - it has magic beans

AVOID Helston town centre right now. A van parked out of the box near the Meneage Street zebra crossing means the double decker bus can't get past and the whole town is at a standstill. (And if you are the van driver please come back and move it!)

The football was amazing last night and we are so blessed to have brilliant commentators in the UK. John Hunt is one of the best and his world was ripped apart yesterday when his wife and daughters were murdered. Mark Chapman knows himself how brutal life can be at times. Give yourself a moment to listen to how he introduced the football after the news about his colleague and friend had just been reported in the bulletin before he started 💔

This is just wonderful - and filmed here in Cornwall! I remember the tail end of characters like this when I started working in news 20 years ago. You don't get them so much now. Thank you @Skentelbery for sharing. (Also the moment at 1:18 that no one acknowledges 😂)

#OnThisDay 1975: "It does look remarkably like a kitchen, doesn't it?" Bernard Falk visited Noddy the horse's luxury £25,000 stable, which - despite appearances - was emphatically not designed for human habitation.

Recived a press release '5 difficult ice skating moves you should not try at home'. I think turning my home into an ice rink was my first mistake... ❄️
