Good day everyone!

The Cornish Language and Culture Society is pleased to announce its signature trip to Tintagel Castle, the legendary birthplace of King Arthur.

📆 23rd May
⏲ 9am
📍 Penryn Campus Bus Stops

Book your ticket on the SU website before 9pm on Monday 4th May: https://www.thesu.org.uk/events/13500/14399/

Society members can get a ticket at the price of £15.50. If you're not a member yet, we highly recommend buying the society’s membership, which is only £2.50.

The tickets subsidise the cost of the transport and castle entrance, which for students would normally cost £24.38.

We will meet at the Penryn Campus Bus Stop at 9am, and aim to be back in Penryn around 6pm.

We encourage you to bring a packed lunch, but there is also a cafe on site.

Hope to see many of you there!
