About the event

Tir ha Mor is a celebration of Cornwall’s 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 from local filmmakers and a relaxed atmosphere with drinks and food available on site.

Following on from sold out success at Verdant Brewery, this magical event is back - this time on Carlyon beach, right in the heart of the Tor to Shore project area.

This event is a fundraiser for Tor to Shore: an ambitious, five year project led by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, made possible thanks to support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. By reconnecting land, rivers and sea across the Par River catchment, the project shows how joined up action can support nature’s recovery at scale. This is a place-based project, rooted in local knowledge, local partnerships and local pride.

Doors from 6pm. Films start at 6.30pm
