Welcome to the Redruth Old Cornwall Society webpage.

Redruth Old Cornwall Society exists to further knowledge and understanding of the unique culture, heritage and history of Cornwall, particularly in the area of Redruth. Set up in 1922, we have recently celebrated our centenary and look forward to the next 100 years. Redruth Old Cornwall Society has a museum collection which is on display at Dairyland Museum and also ‘on tour’ in temporary local exhibitions throughout the year.

Annual Subscription, 2023-2024: £10. This includes a copy of each of the two annual Journals of Kernow Goth, The Federation of Old Cornwall Societies.

Monthly meetings: Wesley Memorial Hall, Wesley Rooms, Wesley St., Redruth, TR15 2EG Car parking at the venue, disabled access.
