Liskeard Welcomes the Torch
On Saturday May 19th the Olympic Torch will be passing through Liskeard. The town has a full day of events planned to celebrate.
Children's TV presenter Dave Benson Phillips will be officially opening the event at 10am on The Parade with the Mayor and will be performing throughout the day.
 
Cassie Patten, medalist at the Beijing Olympics, will also be appearing. Her medal and kit will be on display in Liskeard & District Museum as part of their Sporting Liskeard exhibit and Cassie herself will be in the museum on Saturday afternoon signing autographs.
The town will be full of entertainment from 10am right until the torch passes - and parking is free all day so come along and enjoy the fun!

Support the Love Liskeard Campaign
Mary Portas was engaged by the government to do a review of our high streets. She came up with 28 recommendations and on the back of that, the government announced the Town Challenge in which 12 towns could win a share of £1m.
