October half term: Archaeology community day with Lore and Piece

Delve into Cornwall’s mining heritage with Lore and Piece and explore Cornwall through its archaeology!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

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. Meet a real-life bal-maiden, design your own mine/object, and create a mine/bal-maiden magnet - all taking place in the historic mining setting at East Pool Mine!
