About this event
Join us for the Autumn Lecture Series at National Maritime Museum Cornwall exploring the shadowy side of Cornwall’s rich maritime heritage.
Local storyteller and tour guide, Will Hazell, shines a light onto some of Falmouth’s darker corners. Falmouth was once a dynamic maritime centre with visitors from across the world, but this heady swirl included much drama and disorder. With his acclaimed storytelling skills, Will is going to paint a picture of this town at its least quaint, when misadventure and tragedy played out in these streets.
Will Hazell is best known for running Falmouth Uncovered, which offers walking tours of the town. With his tricorn hat and squeezebox, he’s built a reputation as a passionate and charismatic spokesperson for Falmouth’s past, entertaining visitors and locals with tales of yesteryear.
