Event information

Uncover the forgotten story of Richard ‘Doctor Dick’ Pascoe, a quack doctor who inspired both love and hatred across Victorian Cornwall. Settle in for a gripping narrative of grubby secrets and unruly mobs that'll guide you into some of
the darker corners of Cornwall's past. At the end you'll be asked the question: 'Was this man an angel or a devil?' There are reasons to believe both and neither. Your host, Will Hazell, is an acclaimed storyteller known for combining absorbing Cornish tales
with humour and live music. He's often seen running walking tours in Falmouth, for which he won the Silver Experience of the Year (Active or Learning) at the 2024 Cornwall Tourism Awards.'
