Open Days
The mine holds an annual open day as a celebration of mining in Cornwall, the day after Camborne's Trevithick day. In 2009 it is held on 26 April and features local brass bands and dancers as well as demonstrations of vanning, vintage tractors, cars and stationary engines, a model railway exhibition and mine models.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or days:
““What care I for a goose-feather bed,
With the sheet turned down so bravely, O?
For to-night I shall sleep in a cold open field,
Along with the wraggle taggle gipsies, O!””
—Unknown. The Wraggle Taggle Gipsies (l. 33–36)
“Yet they do have
don’t they like us
their days of grace, they
halt, stretch, a vision
breaks in on the cramped grimace,
inscape of transformation.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
