Conferences & venue hire
Meet somewhere with a story
Flexible rooms for conferences, workshops and business gatherings, set within an unmistakably Cornish heritage landscape.
A distinctive setting
Industrial character, practical flexibility
Heritage Cornwall offers a conference facility within a landscape shaped by Cornish industry and ingenuity.
The available spaces range from the larger, contemporary Main Hall to smaller rooms suited to team sessions and discussion. Chylowen brings a more rustic character, while details retained across the venue connect modern gatherings with the site’s working past.
Rather than forcing every event into one format, the rooms support different seating plans and uses. Start with your group size, purpose and preferred atmosphere, then identify the space that fits.
