Truro (/ˈtrʊəroʊ/; Cornish: Truru) is a city and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is Cornwall's county town, only city, and centre for administration, leisure and retail. Truro's population was recorded as 18,766 in the 2011 census. People from Truro are known as Truronians. As the most southern city in mainland Great Britain, Truro grew as a centre of trade from its port and then as a stannary town for the tin mining industry. Its cathedral was completed in 1910. Places of interest include the Royal Cornwall Museum, the Hall for Cornwall and Cornwall's Courts of Justice.

Treasure Trails

Treasure Trails Ltd create fun and unique ways for families and tourists to get outside and explore. Treasure Trails are treasure hunts around villages, towns and cities, suitable for grown ups, children and especially for grown up children! At the moment there are 350 Treasure Trails in locations all over the UK. The answers to the clues are located on existing monuments, buildings and structures – some are easy to find, some are fiendishly tricky! Trails are done in customers' own time and at their own pace and at only £5 per trail, it's affordable fun!

We bought our first Treasure Trail ahead of a recent day out in Broadstairs and what a bonus it turned out to be. It was an excellent way to explore the town and having to follow a route and look for answers to clues made it an interesting and enjoyable experience into the process. The questions were not overly taxing although there were a few that made you think but it did make you explore the town a little more. It suggests the route would take about two hours, which it is most likely to do, but it took us about four hours by the time we visited antique shops, art shops, coffee shops and took photos along the way! It certainly enhanced our day out and we will certainly invest in another Treasure Trail on a future day out.

We attempted the Nocturnal Alchemist and, by some quirk of fate managed to escape with 5 mins to spare (suspect luck played its part). Great location, superb set up and will mis-direct you at will; perfect! The team running the site are very friendly and helpful; decent price too.

The ATV Centre

Reviewed By CarolineA312 - Truro, United Kingdom

Brilliant experience -from point of enquiry right through. The staff were incredible - friendly, experienced and professional, and they were also really patient with all of us (we were a large family group with the youngest being 7 years old). Booking was really easy - contact via the form on the internet was responded to really quickly and Nick was friendly, helpful and patient (with my queries and questions!). On arrival we were checked in quickly, all social distancing adhered to with sanitiser readily available and measures in place to maintain safety for all. Getting kitted up was straightforward (again, everything was clean and clear processes were in place to maintain these high standards),. Instructions were clear and, again, the staff were so patient with the younger members of our group. Not only were they kind, attentive and patient on the training track, the children were well looked after when we were let loose on the main tracks, leaving the adults to confident to have a go at the intermediate track. A great time was had by all of us and I can highly recommend this activity. Thank you to Nick and the team for a fantastic afternoon.

Reviewed By carolineg522 - Truro, United Kingdom

This cinema has five screens. Four are accessible to wheelchair users. 1 and 4 are reached by wheelchair lifts, so allow more time before a performance. Very efficient, friendly staff will assist you. There are also audio headphones for hearing impaired people and there are some subtitled screenings. The seats are very comfortable and there are good film choices, including screened theatre performances. We love coming to this cinema particularly as one of our family is disabled and he feels relaxed coming here.

We went to Player Ready with our 9 year old son. We booked in advance online which was very easy. The staff on arrival were brilliant and the Covid procedures excellent. We played a number of VR games as a team and they were brilliant fun. I would highly recommend a visit and it is really good value for money - £25 per person for an hour of VR games.
