Lizard lighthouse Heritage Centre - Cornwall

Beaufort Bespoke were chosen as the principle build contractor for the recently refurbished Heritage Centre in the Lizard Lighthouse, the UK’s most Southerly mainland tourist attraction.

Trinity House, the general lighthouse authority for the UK , selected Beaufort Bespoke due to their previous experience in the manufacture and installation of museum displays.

We worked to a detailed set of working drawings supplied by Trinity House and our own project manager ensured the whole installation was delivered in a professional manner and to an extremely high standard.

We were responsible for manufacturing and installing:
The main reception area with ticketing desk
All retail displays, seating, and food service area
A dramatic entrance tunnel with sound and AV
A 18m long graphic timeline wall with 3d plaques
5 interactive archive and display cubes
A low tech interactive 'Did you know?' Pole

Archive and display cubes featured a number of pull out drawers with graphics, object display cases and educational interactives. The drawer units were manufactured to an extremely high quality, ensuring they will give many years service in this permanent Heritage Centre.

The reception area featured 3m high dark brown walling, creating areas for storage and a dramatic dark brown entrance tunnel. These walls were clad with large birch plywood 'tiles' featuring lighthouse dictionary terms, printed direct to the material.

We manufactured a number of retail displays and shelving, including 3 freestanding retail units, housing an impressive lighthouse optic in the base.
