Each carry their own ambitions, worries and secrets.

Victorian Village Preview in 2026

The full Flambards Victorian Village is not part of the 2026 opening and is planned for a future phase (currently targeted for 2027, subject to planning approval).

However, visitors in 2026 will still be able to enjoy a special Victorian preview within the park.

This will include Birch & Birch, the first shop originally installed in Cornwall’s Flambards Victorian Village — a richly detailed general store featuring marble and mahogany counters, traditional display shelving, coffee grinders, cheese cutters, historic shop fittings and authentic period packaging and goods.

Originally located in Angel Court, London, Birch & Birch was a bakers, confectioners and purveyors of high-class provisions, offering visitors an evocative glimpse into Victorian retail life.

Presented as part of the Victorian Imaginariums experience, the shop will provide an early taste of the much larger Victorian Village still to come.

Show Information

A maze where stories come to life

Victorian Imaginariums is not a seated show.  It’s a self-guided journey through a one-way maze.

As you wander deeper into the pathways, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming — friendly greetings, light conversation, the buzz of a community preparing for something special. But linger a moment longer, and things aren’t quite as simple as they first seem.

A writer joking easily yet watching everything around them as change approaches.
A Lady’s maid chats brightly while hinting she knows far more than she should.
A determined pick-pocket asks questions others would rather avoid.

The more you explore, the more perspectives you encounter — and the less certain the truth becomes.

Victorian society appears ordered… but fractures lie just beneath the surface.

Each journey feels different depending on who you meet — and the characters may vary throughout the day, so no two visits are ever quite the same.

Expect unforgettable characters, secrets and surprises at every turn.
