Tir ha Mor is a celebration of Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places, on land and beneath the waves. We invite you for an evening of escapism: six inspiring films that take you from tor to shore, exploring the landscapes, species, and stories that make our county unique.

Hosted by outdoors advocate Lydia Cooke, expect beautiful cinematography, local filmmakers, Q&As, and a relaxed atmosphere with drinks and pizza available. There will also be a chance to enter our Land vs Sea prize draw on the night: you could win a kayaking voucher for two, two tickets for a guided beaver walk at Woodland Valley Farm, or a Cornwall Wildlife Trust goodie bag.
