Packed with hints and tips for how local businesses can utilise tools such as Social Media and create stand out content to showcase the best of the Tin Coast’s environment, culture, heritage, food, events and experiences this workshop will also include a “Social Media Surgery” to support you through any issues or questions you have.

A networking lunch will also be provided. Please bring a smartphone or tablet for an interactive activity. This introduction to digital communications will be hosted by Cornwall 365, a creative consultancy which promotes Cornwall as a year-round, sustainable cultural destination.

Our Archaeology: The Stones, Bones and Stories Beneath Our Feet

Tuesday 31st March, 11am – 1pm

There is more to know underfoot than we can possibly imagine.

Light the fire of your own imagination and those of our visitors as we look at our landscape and hear of its prehistoric stories; we have shared this land for thousands of years and are part of its fabric. Come and learn how to tell those stories in a way that brings the bones back to life…

The workshop will be co-hosted by Laura from the Penwith Landscape Partnership and will feature a walk staring from the Volunteer Hub at Geevor Tin Mine, so make sure you bring sturdy shoes.

Bring your kids along for some Easter Holiday archaeological entertainment.

All our workshops are FREE but definitely RSVP! It helps us know how many biscuits to bake.

These workshops have been put together in response to local businesses telling us what they think would be useful in helping them plan better for visitors coming to the Tin Coast in a way that supports the local economy but also respects the place.

“Being a part of these meetings is inspiring me to do more. Seeing us collaborate is wonderful, I come home and I keep thinking about what we have been talking about”. – Local B&B Owner

At all of these workshops you can expect lots of chatter and sharing of experiences and ideas, your own and from other businesses and community groups in the area. You will also hopefully find out something new, be it about this wonderful and distinctive place, sustainable business ideas, learning new ways to help you talk about your business to visitors and / or gathering up lots of local stories and insights that can help encourage visitors to delve deeper into this astonishing and uncommon place.

Reserve your place now, bring a friend and join other businesses who are making the most of all the Tin CoaST Network has to offer.
