Visiting Redruth

There is always something happening in Redruth. The town is a hub of creative culture, with festivals, events and independent spaces that bring people together throughout the year. Whatever you’re looking for, there’s something on offer for everyone in our town.

Redruth also sits within some of Cornwall’s most beautiful countryside, with plenty of walking, biking and horse-riding to enjoy in the surrounding area.

Creativity and culture

The cultural life of Redruth is growing too – it’s an exciting new time for the town. A bid was launched a bid to become the UK’s first Town of Culture, led by Redruth Town Council, the Redruth Cultural Consortium and arts organisation The Ladder. 

The Regal has been a cinema and live theatre since the 1930s, hosting everything from the latest films to touring shows and big names on stage. The Ladder, based in the town’s former library, offers a growing programme of performances, exhibitions and community events.

Here are a few Redruth highlights to explore:

  • Kresen Kernow, home to the world’s largest collection of Cornish history, documents and photographs
  • Redruth’s festivals, including St Piran’s Festival, Murdoch Day, and Redruth’s International Mining and Pasty Festival
  • Redruth Town Markets, held throughout the year in the town centre
  • The town’s mining heritage, visible in its historic buildings and landmarks – and rightly celebrated as much as possible
  • Walking, biking and horse-riding in the surrounding countryside
