This is a free community event open to all to attend, if you would like to be involved in any way or have something you would like to share in our exhibition, please contact Alice at:
We also hope to mark National Fish & Chip Day and share the Redruth community’s memories and stories from the time – if you have photos, stories, or personal accounts of D-Day, we encourage you to share them with us.
