The company behind St Austell’s forthcoming Cornucopia food and drink visitor attraction, has recruited a new general manager to head up the site before its opening this summer.

Trevor Broome, from Hayle, joins Cornucopia Cornwall following a career in the hotel, leisure and attraction industry. Trevor is also a former chairman of the Cornish Association of Tourist Attractions (CATA).

The new role will oversee not just the new food-and-drink-based visitor attraction element that will open during July 2017 – complete with the UK’s very first Pasty Heritage Centre – but also include the existing Cornucopia Family Adventure play attraction (formerly known as Kidzworld) and the indoor market hall.
