Hidden Cinema
Entertain the kids with family friendly daytime movies at The Hidden Cinema, St Mawes, perfect for a rainy day.

Unbounded: Contemporary Art Practices in Cornwall
Until 26 January
Unbounded is an exhibition of contemporary art exploring some of the many layers of Cornwall’s social and environmental landscapes. This inspiring exhibition showcases a vast range of artists, each working in or deeply connected to Cornwall, whose art-practices extend beyond the geographical boundaries of the county.
Signs of human activity and industry are becoming evident in even the most natural environments. The Eden Project, itself the transformation of a barren landscape into a haven for plant life and community, provides the perfect setting for an exhibition of works exploring our connection to Cornish landscapes; our human relationship with and impact on it.
