The next series of Familiarisation Trips has been scheduled for February and March 2012. All of the trips are completely free of charge and are open to any tourism or consumer-facing business in Cornwall and west Devon.

Each trip begins at 10am and will finish by 3.30pm and you will be able to leave your car at the hosting venue for the day.  

To book your place on a trip, please click on the links below to access to the booking forms. Please note that due to the popularity of these trips, we can only allow businesses to attend one trip each but, if you indicate your interest in other trips on the booking form, we will contact you at least 24 hours before the trip if there are spaces available.

Please also note that if you have previously attended a Cornish Mining World Heritage Site Familiarisation Trip, then we will do our best to accommodate your request but priority will be given to those who have not yet attended a trip. We will contact you nearer the time to confirm if we have been able to allocate spaces for you.

Once you have submitted your online booking form, you will receive a booking confirmation email within 5 working days from the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site team.

If you have any questions, please contact Silvia Dunn sdunn@cornwall.gov.uk or 01872 322767.
