Falmouth’s much-loved Pink Wig Parade was back with a splash for 2025, with a brand-new ‘Mermaid March’ theme.  

On Friday 8th August, a shimmering sea of mermaids gathered in our waterfront marquee for an unforgettable evening of fun, friendship and fundraising at our Pink Wig Pre-Party.

Together, we made waves where they matter most, with 10% of all drink sales and 50% of all Pink Wig mocktail sales donated to The Mermaid Centre – the leading breast cancer diagnosis and treatment facility at Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro. In total, we raised an incredible £1,323.88! 

What started as a night out in 2009 in support of Pink Wig Founder Sally’s cancer treatment, has grown into a Falmouth Week tradition, loved by locals and tourists alike. From humble beginnings, it has gone on to raise over £220,000 for a selection of breast cancer charities and is now run by the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity. Through hosting our annual Pink Wig Pre-Party, we contributed £2,013 in 2023 and £1,142 in 2024.
