European Regional Development Fund
We have recently received a grant from the BIG2 Project; funded from the ERDF as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020.
This grant partly funds the new Courtroom Experience, part of the brand new 'Dark Walk' attraction due to open Summer 2020.
Once fully operational, the new attraction will create jobs for six new members of staff and offer a state of the art attraction for Cornwall, whilst retaining it’s history and atmosphere.
The 'Dark Walk' is a brand new immersive visitor experience, click here to discover more.
