Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery
Activites during the Summer Holidays
Whats on at Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery over the Summer Holidays?
Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery in Truro should be on every local families’ itinerary this summer holiday. Head into Truro on the train if you can, and take a stroll down the hill to River Street where you’ll find a welcoming, affordable and family-friendly museum packed with things to discover and do together.
The Summer Program centres around the Cornish Myths & Legends exhibition and, as well as a magical trail around the galleries, there are plenty of opportunities to get stuck into free creative activities. These change every few weeks during the holidays, plus there’s a schedule of one-off pop-up events and workshops. No two visits will be the same, making Adult Annual Passes the best value £10 you’ll spend this summer (under 18s go free).
The museum is great for SEND families, with sensory guides and trails, and Sensory Backpacks to aid laid-back visits. Bring a picnic and enjoy the new garden at the front of the museum, or pop next door to the Arts Café to refuel.
The Museum Explorers Club (booking required) has two dates coming up in August. These free sessions are for families with children of any age during school holidays. Enjoy healthy snacks and seasonal craft activities in the museum’s learning space, and a playful explore of the galleries. Delivered in partnership with Healthy Cornwall who support with healthy eating and practical advice for families.
Check out the full Summer Programme at www.cornwallmuseum.org/whats-on.

trurotogether.co.uk/national-harvest-of-the-sea/Giving thanks for the sea and those who work upon itTonight, Sunday 11 October, Exeter Cathedral hosts Britain’s inaugural #NationalHarvestoftheSea at 6pm - recognising fishermen and women, their families and the communities whose livelihoods depend upon the sea.Held in partnership with @Love British Food and The Fishermen's Mission, and supported by @Seafish , the service brings together fishing communities, seafood businesses, churches and supporters. The Dean of Exeter will lead the service, with the Bishop of Exeter preaching. Queen Camilla has sent a letter of support, although she will not attend in person.The wider occasion also has support from the @Plymouth Fishing & Seafood Association, Fish24 CIC and A Passion for Seafood. (lovebritishfood.co.uk)Fishing’s contribution reaches far beyond the boats themselves. According to the Cornish Fish Producers’ Organisation, as reported by ITV News, every fisherman supports 15 jobs on land. (itv.com)Behind those livelihoods are people: skilled crews, families awaiting their safe return, and communities that know both the rewards and the losses of life at sea. Funds raised tonight will help The Fishermen’s Mission continue its practical, financial and pastoral support for fishermen and their families. (exeter-cathedral.org.uk)The sea’s beauty and power invite gratitude and humility. Its tides and storms are beyond human command; its gifts should never be taken for granted. It sustains birds, marine creatures and people alike.Honouring those who work at sea goes hand in hand with protecting its waters and wildlife, reducing waste and making thoughtful food choices. Gratitude finds its fullest expression in care - for the Earth, for those who provide food, and for one another.May tonight’s gathering bring comfort, recognition and a shared sense of belonging. May those working at sea be blessed with safety, and those living with loss find kindness and support.Admission is free and everyone is welcome.Service details at Exeter Cathedral#CommunityTogether #TruroTogether #Cornwall #NationalHarvestOfTheSea #FishermensMission #FishingCommunities #ExeterCathedral #LoveBritishFood
