About this event
Explore Cornwall’s mining past and learn all about the history of tin at Cornwall Gold, a hidden gem with plenty of free children’s activities and our award-winning cafe where, from the 8th to the 10th of March, Mum can enjoy a free drink of her choice with a meal, whether it’s prosecco or a latte!
There are so many ways to treat mum this Mother’s Day at Cornwall Gold including lots of all-weather activities and free things to do for the whole family. From a free drink for mums in the Pantry, to panning for gold, beach walks and beautiful woodland nearby.
Learn about Cornwall’s tin mining past in their new interactive Tolgus Mill exhibition before you try your luck panning for gold. Little ones will enjoy the dress-up section to become a Tin Miller or a Bal Maiden, and be fascinated as the Tolgus Tin Streaming Mill smashes rock into tiny pieces before their eyes, removing the tin ore from the stone before employing a host of inventions to separate the valuable tin so it can be made into beautiful jewellery.
After refreshing in the café, explore the jewellery showroom where you can shop for unique souvenirs or choose from optional paid for activities such as build your own bear at Bearworks, the special ‘Pick a Pearl’ experience, (and have it set to wear) plus the Create and Paint pottery where you can produce your own masterpiece.
Dog friendly, free parking, open daily and free entry.
