IMAGINARY JOURNEYS: WILDWORKS Travel Agencies


WILDWORKS is proud to be one of the first companies commissioned through an exciting new arts programme called FEAST to lead an ambitious Arts in the Community project in seven market towns across Cornwall:

FEAST is inspired by Cornish celebrations and aims to increase people's involvement in the arts as audiences and participants.

WILDWORKS is recognised internationally as leading the kind of work in which artists and community work closely together to create an event, performance or installation unique to that place.

Our latest project is called: IMAGINARY JOURNEYS: WILDWORKS Travel Agencies and has been designed to provide everyone the opportunity to ‘travel' into the past, the future and their imagination...

For this project we have recruited new artists who will gain a deeper understanding of the companies methodologies and develop their own professional skills working alongside their experienced team.

All artists are currently starting to prepare for the opening of their own branch of ‘The Travel Agencies, and would like to talk to the local community to learn more about travels and life in the town past, present and future.

This information will then inform and inspire the creation of their towns own ‘travel agency' which will then evolve during its public opening hours.

There will free community events including tea parties, the first being held by the Liskeard branch on Saturday 24th January between 2pm and 5pm at The Liskerrett Centre, Varley lane. Anyone who lives in the Liskeard area of any age is welcome. They would also love to see any photographs, objects or memorabilia of life in Liskeard, please bring them along.

The Travel Agencies will be opening between 7th to 15th February in Penryn, Hayle, Penzance and 14th to 22nd February in St Austell, Bude, Liskeard and Wadebridge.

The shops are only going to be open for a limited time and will have various opening hours so please do keep a look out for upcoming events near you and your local Travel Agency opening times and  pop in for some very special travel talk!
