Furry Dance 2026

Furry Dance takes place on May 08, 2026. The Furry Dance (pronounced to rhyme with "hurry"), also known as The Flora (or incorrectly as the Floral Dance or the Cornish Floral Dance), takes place in Helston, Cornwall, and is one of the oldest British customs still practised today. The dance is very well attended every year and people travel from all over the world to see it: Helston Town Band play all the music for the dances. The Furry Dance takes place every year on May 8 or the Saturday before if May 8 falls on a Sunday or Monday.
