In support of the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust

Join The Poly in Falmouth for 'Echoes of the Estuary', a special exhibition celebrating the King Harry Ferry and its place in our community's heart.

Local artist and art educator Susie Pearce, alongside her students from Elements School of Art Cornwall, have explored themes of collective memory, heritage and belonging through their artwork. This exhibition captures personal connections to the River Fal and the ferry that has linked our communities for generations.

The show features original paintings, drawings and photography by both established and emerging local artists, reflecting their creative journeys and deep connection to this iconic crossing. Whether you're a local resident or visitor to the area, you'll discover how the King Harry Ferry weaves through our shared stories and landscape.

Prints and cards available to purchase, with all profits donated to the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust. A JustGiving page is also available for those wishing to support this vital local charity.

"This project is about connecting with our community, bringing people together and honouring what this ferry means to both locals and visitors alike."  Susie Pearce
