With lots of all-weather fun, free kid’s activities, spooky events and local food – there is loads of discover and do this October half term at Cornwall Gold.
Become a ghost hunter in our free Halloween activity
We recently opened a trap door below the Tolgus Tin Mill that had been locked for over 100 years and in doing so we released 6 terrifying Tolgus ghosts! Pick up your free map as you enter Cornwall Gold and head on a ghost hunt to find each ghost dotted around our site. Once you have them, show your sheet to a member of staff and you will be crowned a Cornwall Gold Ghost Hunter and get a free sweet treat!
Parents beware – you may even get goosebumps when you read about the chilling stories from our mill’s past!
Get your free ghost map from the 18th of October until the 3rd of November.
