The Archives and Cornish Studies Service are offering free tours of the former Redruth Brewery site to coincide with the national Heritage Open Days scheme and Redruth’s International Mining and Pasty Festival.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see the progress that has been made on the site so far, and hear more about plans for the future. The site will be home to Kresen Kernow, Cornwall’s new archive centre, which is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Cornwall Council and is due to open in 2018.

The free tours will take place on September 9 and 10. Pre-booking is essential as space is limited, and tours are expected to book up fast.

For more information, or to book your place, call the Cornwall Record Office on 01872 323 127. You can find out more about the project by visiting www.cornwall.gov.uk/kresenkernow or searching for Kresen Kernow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
