This free event will explore the people and the places which made mining one of Cornwall’s main trades, and learn about the minerals, myths and material culture produced in the region.
In the lead-up to the 20th anniversary in 2026 of Cornwall UNESCO’s mining status, Lore & Piece will be working with East Pool Mine to showcase the mines that National Trust are honoured to care for.
