St Endellion lies near Port Isaac on the B3314 which runs between Wadebridge and Delabole. The postcode is PL29 3TP
This exhibition shares the story of the Cornish Unit home. Initially built as post-war social housing, many of these prefabs still exist today.
30,000 units were built by Selleck and Nichols, a subsidiary of English China Clays, to combat the housing crisis after World War 2.
Although problems occurred with the concrete, are there lessons from the design and build that could be learned today during another period of housing uncertainty?
Time: 10.00am to 4.00pm
Price: Included in standard museum admission

Indie folk singer-songwriter Ivan Moult with St Austell roots is set to perform his new album Stood Out In The Storm - his most personal work yet. Audiences can expect the intimate, carefully crafted sound Ivan is known for – a seamless blend of 60s/70s folk and blues shaped by influences such as John Martyn, Terry Reid and Ry Cooder.
The new album, released in November 2025, follows the acclaimed Songs From Severn Grove (2023), which earned praise for its warmth, intricacy and timeless songwriting. While that record captured renewal and early fatherhood, this new collection of songs takes a braver and more vulnerable step, written in the aftermath of a personal crisis and tracing a gradual journey toward healing.
Having earned support from Guy Garvey and Huw Stephens on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Wales and KLOF, and having shared stages with This Is The Kit, Becca Mancari and Willy Mason, Ivan brings a seasoned presence to the stage. We can’t wait for you to join us for this special, intimate performance.
As well as an opportunity to experience some fantastic Cornish music, this event will be supporting the charitable work of Wheal Martyn Trust (Charity no. 1001838), with money raised from ticket sales contributing to our fundraising.
To balance our fundraising needs with the reality of the current cost of living challenge our customers face, we have made this a pay what you can event. All tickets are equal, simply pick the price you wish to pay (between £5 and £15). Age 12 and under free.
Time: Doors open at 6.30pm, performance starts at 7.00pm
Price: £5.00 - £15.00 per person (age 12 and under free)
Optional extra: Pre-ordered pasties £6.95

This Easter, embark on an epic egg-venture at Newquay Zoo, where three cracking challenges await explorers ofa ll ages!
Kick off your adventure with our Painted Egg Quest and find six mysterious eggs hidden across the zoo; then channel your inner detective to spot the imposters in Shell-Shockers: Find the Fakes. And if you're lucky enough to track down the elusive Golden Yolk, you'll be entered into our prize draw to win an exclusive prize bundle worth £90.

This exhibition shares the story of the Cornish Unit home. Initially built as post-war social housing, many of these prefabs still exist today.
30,000 units were built by Selleck and Nichols, a subsidiary of English China Clays, to combat the housing crisis after World War 2.
Although problems occurred with the concrete, are there lessons from the design and build that could be learned today during another period of housing uncertainty?

The three-day celebration of creativity is taking place at the Princess Pavilion, showcasing a curated mix of established and emerging artists from across Cornwall.
This rare and magical event happens only when the moon and tides align. During these powerful Spring Tides, the channel between Tresco and Bryher is briefly exposed, allowing you to walk across the seabed itself.
As the tide retreats, the Tresco team splashes through the shallows to set the stage. Soon, islanders and visitors begin their barefoot journey from both Tresco and Bryher, meeting at the heart of the channel for a once-in-a-blue-moon gathering on the sand.
The celebration lasts just a little over an hour - then, as the klaxon sounds, it’s time to return to dry land before the sea reclaims its stage. Wander across to the opposite island to continue your adventure, and later, take the boat home over the very spot where you were dancing barefoot on the seabed just hours before.
Join us for this ephemeral celebration where community, cuisine, and the natural world converge on a sandbar that exists only for a few magical hours.
Food, Drink & Island Spirit
Like the shifting sands it’s set upon, the Low Tide Event has evolved over the years - no two gatherings are ever quite the same. Each one brings together a different mix of island characters, flavours, and experiences for our beloved sandbar shindig.
Tresco and Hell Bay Hotel host pop-up ‘Sand Bars’, serving cold drinks and locally distilled island spirits, including our own Hell Bay Gin.
Bryher’s Island Fish even beach their boat, Emerald Dawn, right on the sand to serve up the freshest seafood straight from the sea.
Every event features a rotating cast of local producers and entertainers from across the Isles of Scilly. Past highlights have included live music from Cornish singer-songwriter Will Keating and the band Scuppered, traditional lobster pot-making with islander Jof Hicks, and fascinating seabed safaris with the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust.
You might also stumble across tempting treats and tipples from island favourites like SC Dogs Rum, Westward Farm, Tarquin’s Gin, Bryher Bake Box, and Veronica Farm Fudge.
Upcoming Dates
The next Low Tide Events are scheduled for:
Friday 17th April 2026
Friday 11th September 2026
Event Information & Guidelines
