Kovva is a Cornish word for hideaway. It carries the county’s rebellious streak alongside an older idea: gathering somewhere nurturing and trusted. That’s what we’ve built. Cornwall’s newest premium venue.

Innovation Nursery has designed and built a space forged from the land around it, using novel materials to push at the edge of what construction can currently do, and technology that lets the room mould itself around whoever is in it.

On the 20th October, pop on a hard hat and a delightful high vis and get your first glimpse of Kovva. You’ll see how the building is made and what it makes possible, for Cornwall and well beyond. You’ll taste what our Head of Food Innovation has been working on. And you’ll hear where Innovation Nursery goes next.

We start at 4pm with drinks and small bites, then a tour, a few short speeches, and time for the collisions and chance encounters that tend to happen when the right people share a room. We’ll aim to be finished by 6pm.

Register your interest by 9th October. We’ll confirm attendance, spaces are limited.
