Bolster the Cornish giant stars in clifftop pageant - in pictures
The annual event near St Agnes tells the story of how the picturesque village was supposedly saved from a tyrannical giant.
A clifftop pageant during Bolster Festival in St Agnes, Cornwall. The two-day festival, which features a bonfire and puppet pageant along the clifftops, celebrates the demise of a mythical giant called Bolster. The giant had tormented local villagers and defeated many challengers in battle. He fell in love with a girl called Agnes who asked him to prove his affection by filling a hole in the rocks with his blood. But she secretly knew the hole led directly into the ocean, so the giant bled to his death. Photo taken on 5 May 2024.

The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea to 60 metres.
