The UK's biggest mechanical puppet 'Man Engine' arrives at Tamar Valley Visitor Centre at Drakewalls, Gunnislake, Cornwall.
Monday, July 25, 2016 (All day) – Saturday, August 6, 2016 (All day)
2016 sees the creation of the 'Man-Engine', a 10 metre high mechanical giant who will stride the length of the Cornish Mining Landscape over the course of two weeks. The towering metal Man-Engine - the largest puppet ever made in Britain- will start his journey in Tavistock on 25 July, then process through Cornwall, calling at locations such as Wheal Coates on the South West Coast Path and nearby St Agnes, on 1 August.
Along the route the colossal Man-Engine will be accompanied and animated by a dozen or more ‘miners’ and ‘bal-maidens’, and he will make his journey through each of the ten World Heritage Site areas until the final event at Geevor Tin Mine on 6 August.
