The reason for this, well the organisation I work for is now in the final stages before it's launched. I thought I'd tell you a little about it.
I work for a new Social Enterprise, a Charity called Heartlands Trust. It's located in Cornwall and is going to be responsible for running a new visitor attraction. It launches to the world this coming Friday.
Heartlands is predominantly funded by the lottery, and the whole development has been the beneficiary of £35 million funding to transform the 19 acre former derelict mining site in the heart of Cornwall's former industrial and mining hub.
After a long period from idea to reality, the site opens with a three day launch party Friday April 20th. The site is to be a free attraction to promote regeneration and inclusion and includes a very diverse offer including:
- State of the art cornish mining exhibitions.
- Restored engine house with 80" beam engine.
- Biggest adventure playgroound in Cornwall.
- Diaspora botanical gardens.
- Red River Cafe & bar.
- Art & craft studios.
- Chi an Bobel community, conference & function hall.
- Totem circle outdoor performance space.
- Market square.
- Outdoor events arena.
- Interactive art installations.
- 19 sustainable homes.
- State of the art showcased renewable energy generation.
- Year round events programme.
I will be in Cornwall early September I think. If that adventure playground is open then I may have to pop in. :)
