Looking for something different to do this summer?

Why not explore the Museum of Cornish Life? Located in Helston’s historic market buildings, this fascinating museum has been welcoming visitors since 1949, telling the story of Cornish life through the ages.

Within this vast space, spread over three floors, you’ll discover a rich collection of Cornish artefacts, covering aspects such as farming, archaeology, school life, local industry and sports.

This summer, their exhibition looks at the museum’s extensive costume collection. With the aid of each piece of clothing, you can find out more about the stories behind significant events such as the Torrey Canyon disaster, Gorsedh Kernow and Flora Day, among other things.

Admission to the museum is free from 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday, with craft workshops through the summer focusing on fashion, fabric and stitch on Monday afternoons and Thursday mornings.
