Safer Together

Many of Cornwall’s top tourist attractions will be opening their doors again from 4 July and welcoming back visitors, following the Government’s announcement supporting the reopening of tourism and visitor attractions. 

Attractions across Cornwall have been working hard to ensure they can reopen safely, with the health of their visitors and their employees of paramount importance. The visitor experience may be somewhat different to that which people are used to, but you can still be sure of a warm and friendly welcome at all of our organisations.

Think, plan and book ahead.  Make sure you visit attraction websites for essential booking information before you visit.

Safety measures have been put in place at every attraction we work with – so you will see socially distanced queueing systems, one way paths, increased handwashing and cleaning, opportunities for hand sanitisation, contactless payment and changes to food and beverage offers, all designed to keep everyone on site as safe as possible.
