THE SHIPWRECK TREASURE MUSEUM

An integral part of Charlestown’s heritage and history is the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, which holds over 8,000 treasures from 150 shipwrecks, one of the largest private collections of shipwreck artefacts in Europe. Set in this historic and atmospheric harbour, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its own right, a visit to this recently re-opened centre offers an abundance of fascinating and captivating discoveries. Having re-opened their doors on July 4th, the site will be operating a one-way system to allow easy navigation for its visitors and social distancing.

THE OLD WORKSHOP

The Old Workshop is a wonderful historic building situated next to the main car park at Charlestown near St Austell. Converted from an old gunpowder store, after extensive refurbishment, it houses three very interesting businesses. ‘The Craft Kiln’ is a showcase for Cornish Crafts, where you can meet the makers and purchase a unique handmade gift. ‘Cscape Art’ is the gallery and studio of artist, Sarah Blakey, and her photographer husband, Mick. Here you can meet the artist and perhaps invest in an original painting or photographic print. ‘Sail Loft Emporium’ houses a fine array of antiques, collectables, vintage and retro items. Around 50 cabinets and stalls all under one roof.

Please see website for this season’s opening hours.
