Join us during February half term for hands on science with Bristol Explorer Dome and University of Exeter. Plus all the family favourites: craft making, trail, and more.

Share your stories, personal connections and memories of the sea in Cornwall with us and we’ll compile highlights into an online gallery, interactive display in the museum and our annual journal.

A chance to collect tattoos inspired by designs from original rare flash from private collections on display. All designs on offer will be created especially for the flash day and inspired by original flash and artwork featured in the museum’s ground breaking and award winning exhibition.

Explore this provocative and challenging show, hear insights from our guest curators, see live tattooing as part of our Flash Day, enjoy live music, all while enjoying a free drink courtesy of Sailor Jerry. Live music performed by Leigh Delamere & the Gordanos, ‘Cornwall’s premium rhythm’n’blues boogie-woogie ragtime gypsy skifflers’ !
