A Journey Through Time

Those who joined the original event in March will remember how Bodmin came alive with an illuminated trail of performances and discoveries. Audiences followed the adventures of the mysterious Tempus Fugitives, a group of accidental time travellers who found themselves stranded in Old Bodmin.

As participants journeyed through the town, they uncovered clues, encountered fascinating characters from different periods of Bodmin’s history, and experienced a series of creative pop-up performances in unexpected locations. The event blended local heritage with storytelling and visual spectacle, encouraging visitors to see familiar landmarks through fresh eyes.

Now, the time travellers are back.
