Tower for the best views of Falmouth
before heading down to the Tidal Zone
to search for sea life through the giant
undersea windows.
MONSTERS
OF THE DEEP
Deep in the dark murky depths
of the ocean bioluminescence dances
and shadowy figures loom. Something’s
there, but what? Could it be krakens
with tentacles two miles long and giant
sharks as big as skyscrapers? Legends,
folklore and modern day science present
Monsters of the Deep - you decide
what lies beneath.
MAJOR
EXHIBITION
I SAW A MONSTER
This summer holidays join
sea monster experts, seekers
and spotters who have all been
lucky enough to witness
a monster in the rough,
wild seas of Cornwall.
Is what they saw real
or just a figment of their imaginations?
I Saw A Monster is a brand new theatre
performance running four times a day
through the summer holiday.
SUMMER
HOLIDAYS

Zone and the RNLI Rescue Zone

drink in the views in the Waterside Café.
