The Courtroom Experience 5 Day Weather Forecast

Do you love a good murder mystery?

Always fancied doing jury service?

Want to experience Victorian Cornish History?

Then visit the Courtroom Experience, an award winning visitor attraction at the heart of Cornwall.

The Courtroom Experience is an interactive, guided tour of the original county courts of Cornwall. The experience is led by one of our knowledgeable Courtroom Ushers who will be your tour guide and will meet you in the foyer to take you through the experience. The tour begins with a short talk giving you some information about the building and some background to the story of Matthew Weeks and Charlotte Dymond

Then the usher will take you into the original courtroom where you will be invited to take a seat. Here the usher will introduce you to the characters in the courtroom and give some snippets of information to think about during the trial.

The trial then begins and is a mixture of lights, film and animatronics and the case of Matthew Weeks is told.

Towards the end of the trial you are asked to vote, based on what you have seen, whether you think that Matthew was guilty or not guilty of the crime. The trial culminates with the historical outcome of the trial.

The usher finally takes you down to the original holding cells where you can stand inside on the tiny, gloomy cells.

The whole experience takes about one hour.
