On Saturday, February 24, Golden Tree Productions will be running 'Trovyans Tresor': a Cornish language treasure hunt for children and their families.
Participants will collect a Tremengumyas (passport) and mappa (map) from the Exchange Gallery- they will then take these around a number of 'treasure islands' which will be located in businesses around town.
At each stop, they will learn a specific phrase of Cornish vocabulary, in return for a stamp. Once they have collected all their stamps, they will be invited to bring mum and dad along for a bit of cakey tea at St John’s Hall.
The event is the culmination of a six week project working with local schools. Trovyans Tresor is free and open to all the family:
