Join us for an enchanting evening of Gothic exploration! 🌑

In collaboration with Falmouth University, we warmly invite you to an unforgettable evening at the historic Bodmin Jail, a true epicentre of Cornwall's shadowy past. As we embrace October—the month of transformation, long nights, and the whispers of Halloween—we’re thrilled to delve into the rich tapestry of Cornwall’s darker tales.

Prepare to be captivated by our esteemed keynote speakers as we illuminate the enchanting and eerie aspects of our heritage. From mythical beasts and elusive mermaids to cunning witches and towering giants, from the sombre stones of our ancient landscapes to the haunting echoes of prison walls, we’ll breathe new life into Cornwall’s darker side.

Let’s gather to celebrate and revitalize the Gothic spirit for a new generation—where legends and lore intertwine, and the mysteries of the night beckon us to explore!
