For the delight and edification of the WORKING MEN AND WOMEN OF LOSTWITHIEL we present, by popular demand, the far famed MRS JARLEYS WAXWORKS. The genuine and only Jarley, as patronised by Royalty. Children and servants admitted half price.
133 years after their sell out appearance at the Grand Opening of the Lostwithiel Working Mens Club in November 1890, we are celebrating the anniversary of the club by recreating the extraordinary events on offer inside that day.
Over the weekend of the 18th and 19th of November 2023 there will be daily showings of the stupendous MRS JARLEY WAXWORKS, showing remarkable characters from Cornish history, mythology and modern times.
Prepare to be amazed at their EXTRAORDINARY REALISM! The excellent Mrs Jarley will preside.
In the next room we recreate the Victorian EXHIBITION OF CURIOSITIES. Drawn from the dark cupboards of the Lostwithiel Museum who will lend, for this exhibition only, items not normally on show to the public.
This local absorbiana will be augmented by other wondrous inventions and oddnesses with guaranteed EXCITEMENT AND INTEREST FOR ALL.
If you are a ploughman or general maid looking for employment the notice board will be of great value.
There are also competitions, games and a grand CREAM TEA of delicacy and sustenance.
Tickets will be available via Ticketsource
