VE Day Tregonning Hill Exhibition

Part of the 80th anniversary VE Day celebrations, this exhibition will explore the lives of those brave men of Germoe who are commemorated on the tall granite cross at the summit of Tregonning Hill as well as the experiences of those on the Home Front in the local area. The exhibition will also celebrate the lives of the four members of the crew who died on board the Bristol Beaufort bomber that crashed in the larger quarry adjacent to the hillfort in 1941.

There will also be an artist-led craft activity for visitors to take part in. Refreshments, including celebration cupcakes, will be served from 3pm for a suggested donation of £2.

The exhibition will be followed by the lighting of our specially commissioned mini-brazier at the summit of Tregonning Hill at 6pm.

This event is in aid of Cornwall Heritage Trust – the small, independent charity protecting Cornwall’s heritage for everyone.
