We’re bringing you a packed paper with this week’s Cornish Times, leading on the easing of restrictions this week and the opening of a major new venue for South East Cornwall -The Social in Liskeard. We’ve got photos from the first night of opening, and the reaction of local people who went to the venue for their first indoor socializing in many months!
