Spring Lecture Series

Breaking Waves

Surf History, Art, and Ocean Futures

Dive into an extraordinary lecture series that explores the powerful connections between surf culture, environmental activism, and coastal heritage.

This spring we’re presenting three compelling talks that celebrate Cornwall’s pioneering role in British surfing and address some of the urgent challenges facing our oceans.

From hidden histories of wave-riding communities to the frontline of plastic pollution activism, from pioneering surf villages to the cutting edge of sustainable tourism, these lectures reveal how surfing shapes our relationship with the sea and can inspire action for ocean preservation. This lecture series is perfect for surf lovers, ocean advocates, and those who enjoy discovering history gems from Cornwall’s past.

Doors open at 7pm, with hot and cold drinks available from our Waterside Cafe.

Lectures start at 7.30pm
