✨ Step inside an unforgettable 360° experience this August! ✨

Join us at Tavistock Town Hall on Saturday 22nd August, from 10.30am to 3.30pm, for a special FREE event celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site.

🌍 'From Granite to Galaxies' is a spectacular immersive 360° dome film that takes audiences on an incredible journey through time – from the molten creation of Cornwall's granite, through the Industrial Revolution and mining heritage that shaped our communities, to today's exciting space-age technologies and a sustainable future powered by the very minerals beneath our feet.

🎥 The immersive film lasts approximately 20 minutes, with multiple screenings taking place throughout the day, giving visitors plenty of opportunities to experience this unique attraction.

Alongside the dome experience, discover more about Tavistock's remarkable heritage by visiting information stands hosted by local heritage organisations, including:

🏛 Tavistock Guildhall Heritage Centre
🏰 Tavistock Heritage Trust
📚 Tavistock Museum
👮 Museum of Policing in Devon & Cornwall
📖 Tavistock Subscription Library
📜 Tavistock Local History Society
🌿 The Devonshire Association
⛏ Cornish Mining World Heritage Site

Families can enjoy mining-themed activities with the Tavistock Heritage Trust Discovery Group, while local historian Simon Dell will be giving an illustrated talk on Tavistock Canal and its role in our mining heritage at 2.00pm.

There will also be the chance to meet specialist conservation experts working on the Rediscovering Tavistock Abbey Project, browse heritage displays, enjoy refreshments and perhaps even bump into a few familiar faces from Tavistock's mining past as members of Tavi Fringe bring history to life!
