This autumn, we invite you to discover Cornwall’s wartime heritage through a series of evening lectures. From the strongholds of Pendennis and St Mawes Castles to peculiar tales of conflict along the Falmouth Homefront, and the extraordinary true story of covert WW2 missions from the Helford River, these sessions bring together historians, researchers and museum specialists to shed light on centuries of coastal defence, clandestine operations and local resilience.
Join us for an autumn of discovery exploring wartime stories hidden along our shores and how war shaped Cornwall’s landscape and maritime legacy.
Events coming soon…
Doors open at 7pm, with hot & cold drinks available from our Waterside Cafe.
