In the first session, children were given mystery objects and became archivists for the day, trying to work out the past use of the objects and […]

The lovely bright space in the visitors centre made for a great backdrop for the exhibition, and Heartlands focus on Cornwall’s heritage makes for a fitting venue. […]
