Storytelling Tour with Will Hazell
A storytelling tour that plunges you into the maritime world.
Join acclaimed storyteller Will Hazell for an hour-long tour through the Museum. Inspired by the objects on display in the galleries, Will explores our relationship with the sea through the lives of people shaped by it. You’ll hear about Brazilian fishermen who fought slavery, the fleet of ships that turned Falmouth into an information hub, and a family left fighting for survival in the Pacific Ocean. There will also be live music, plenty of energy and a warm welcome.
