About this event

Behind-the-scenes tour of Kresen Kernow

Come behind-the-scenes at Kresen Kernow with exclusive tours of the strongrooms and discover how we care for Cornwall’s historic records.

Inspired by the architecture of Cornwall, discover original plans of grand country houses like Lanhydrock and Cornish Unit Housing from the mid 20th century.

See archives relating to bridges, viaducts, chapels and schools, and how these buildings shaped the communities around them. You’ll also learn more about some of Cornwall’s most famous architects, such as Silvanus Trevail and George Vaughan Ellis.

Whether you’re a history buff, a budding architect or you’re just curious about Cornwall’s past, this is a fantastic opportunity to explore 850 years of stories cared for in the archives. Perfect for curious minds and anyone who loves a good peek behind-the-scenes!
