THE LADDER IS A SPACE FOR STORIES

Founded in 1895 so that the people of Redruth could read and learn. It served the community as a Library for 125 years.

When the Library moved in 2020 the building became derelict. Saved in 2022, we have raised almost £2m to restore it and give it a purpose for the 21st Century.

It will now become a nursery, cafe, performance space, workspace and studios supporting artists and makers in the creative industries.

Opening August 2025
