Watching The Sun booklet launch: 29th Sept 7-8pm
We are very excited to have collaborated with Cheryl Straffon and Meyn Mamvro to bring together over 30 years of solar inspired articles. The sites in Cornwall with solar links range from the Neolithic to the Iron Age and it is astounding to think that people have followed the
solar cycle for over 4000 years. As always, a huge thankyou to our funders and supporters, especially National Lottery players who have provided much of the funding of this project through Heritage lottery Fund and Arts Council England. Thanks also to Feast and Cornwall Council for additional support. We have now printed a physical booklet - click here for details of our online launch event! |
