Spring Equinox Weekend: Illuminated Adventures & Live Music in Bodmin

As the days grow longer and Bodmin welcomes the Spring Equinox, the town comes alive with two standout events — each proudly supported by Experience Bodmin. Whether you're in the mood for immersive storytelling or electrifying live music, this special weekend offers something for everyone.

✨ TIMEPIECE: Tempus Fugitives!

Saturday 21 March 2026 · 5:00–7:00pm · Free · Bodmin Town Centre

Step into a world of mystery, light, and local heritage with TIMEPIECE: Tempus Fugitives! — a roving, story-led illuminated arts experience taking place across Bodmin Town Centre on the evening of the Spring Equinox.
This experimental event invites you to help the “Tempus Fugitives,” accidental time‑travelers lost in Old Bodmin, by following a trail of clues and discovering pop-up performances in multiple town‑centre locations. Visitors receive a free map at Mount Folly to guide them across the route.

🎸 Battle of the Bands: FINALS

Sunday 22 March 2026 · 5:00–9:30pm · The BEAT, Dennison Road

The stage is set, the public has voted, and six talented finalists are ready to compete for the top spot in Bodmin’s Battle of the Bands Finals! Hosted at The BEAT, this high‑energy evening showcases a mix of grunge, pop, easy listening, and acoustic performances, all culminating in a public vote for the No.1 band.

Join us as Bodmin lights up with storytelling, music, and celebration this Spring Equinox Weekend!
