Helston is associated with the Furri Dance or Floral Dance; the lyrics were written by Katie Moss but the music of the dance acquired widespread fame with the version recorded by the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band in 1977, a year before the Terry Wogan version.

There is also a Yates's Wine Lodge in Cheltenham.

[EDIT]
Comment: apparently the "Wine Lodge" suffix was dropped a few years ago. Now it's just Yates's.
Let's hope the Cheltenham establishment maintains the venerable tradition of "champagne on draught" pioneered at the Blackpool Yates's.
