THREE Cornish piers are taking part in a major celebration of piers in the British Isles on Saturday.
Party on the Pier sees 34 piers across the UK hosting individual events including Looe, Newlyn and Falmouth.
In Looe, banjo players will be strumming and entertaining locals and visitors alike on the celebrated Banjo Pier.
The pier has never hosted a banjo concert before, so it is an event to go into the history books.
"Banjos on the Banjo, as part of British Tourism Week, gives Looe a chance to kick start the 2011 season with something a little different," said Mark Camp, organiser and manager at Looe Tourist Information Centre.
"Come along and join in the fun on Saturday. The banjos will be congregating on the pier at midday and then playing in and around the seafront afterwards.
"There will also be an exhibition of images of the pier past and present in the Pier Café and the launch of a competition to design a new postcard for Looe."
Visitors are invited to come down to the Banjo Pier from noon onwards on Saturday for a unique celebration of Banjo Pier.
Cornish band Kath and her Bluegrass Boys will also be entertaining visitors at the Pier Café.
