HERITAGE AT HFC
Our heritage microsite invites you to explore the history of Hall For Cornwall theatre and City Hall.
Over the last three years, a team of staff and volunteers have researched our history, uncovered myriad stories and built up a digital collection which showcases its breadth across the years.
Through our memories, digital collection and carefully curated exhibitions & stories, we tell your stories of the building, its important civic history in Truro and its role at the heart of our theatre.
Our microsite will be regularly updated throughout 2021 and in the lead up to the re-opening of Hall For Cornwall. Our heritage is expanding, changing and developing as we speak and we will be excited to record this here. Our microsite is designed to be accessible and is optimised for mobile, tablet and desktop use.
We are immensely grateful to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for making our Revealing City Hall project possible and supporting our ambitious project alongside the transformation of Hall For Cornwall.
