CORNWALL'S REGIMENTAL MUSEUM
The museum and its collections have been developed over many years by dedicated people with a love of Cornwall's own regiment, the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry (DCLI) and military history. It stands as a testament to the soldiers who have served over the centuries. Looking to the future, the vision is to take the museum onto even greater things and make it a great place for learning about our military heritage. The museum's aim is to educate, entertain and inspire a broad range of people of all ages and to make a real contribution to the local community and county.

He was a highly respected all-rounder in the world of theatre, directing productions throughout the UK. Although he had great success touring a wide variety of plays, his greatest achievements will probably be the UK premiere and five subsequent tours of Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, and directing the Ordinalia Miracle play cycles in St Just-in-Penwith between 2000-2004. Phil Innes took over the reins following Dom’s death, and Jason Squibb is the current Artstic Director.

-
To educate the public in the arts of theatre and drama of all kinds.
-
To bring high quality productions to the public using all means of theatrical, film and other recorded media.
-
To devise and deliver educational workshops to accompany said productions.
-
To provide a forum within which professional ar>sts can prac>ce and develop their skills.

To promote Cornish culture and other relevant contemporary issues through said arts for the people of Cornwall and beyond.
