Holman Gardens

Camborne Town Council is bringing new life to a historic brownfield site, transforming it into Holman Gardens—a vibrant green space at an important gateway to central Camborne. Located near Tesco on the site of the former Holman factory, this project will create an inviting, accessible, and environmentally conscious community space for all to enjoy.

A Green Haven in the Heart of Camborne…

Holman Gardens will provide a welcoming natural retreat within the town, featuring:

Grassed Amphitheatre & Terraced Lawns – A unique open-air space designed for relaxation, informal gatherings, and small community events.
Main Pathways & Natural Surveillance – Ensuring easy access for all visitors while keeping the space open, visible, and safe.
Seating Areas & Benches – Creating comfortable spaces for residents and visitors to unwind, meet, or enjoy the outdoors.
Cornish Hedging & Greenery – Featuring large canopy trees and pollution-absorbing shrubs to improve air quality and biodiversity.
Interactive Public Art & Heritage Features – Celebrating Camborne’s industrial past through bespoke artwork and sculptures, paying tribute to the Holman Brothers and the town’s mining heritage.

Honouring Camborne’s Industrial Legacy…

As Holman Gardens sits on the former Holman factory site, it is important to reflect and commemorate Camborne’s rich industrial history. This will be achieved through interpretation boards, signage, and bespoke public art, ensuring that the legacy of the Holman Brothers and their contribution to mining and engineering remains a visible and engaging part of the space.

Following a thorough review of tender applications, we are pleased to announce that Create CIC has been chosen to design and produce the metalwork installations for the four main entranceways to Holman Gardens. These designs have been carefully developed to reflect Camborne’s industrial and cultural heritage, incorporating elements inspired by the town’s mining history and engineering excellence. They have also created mosaic art pieces with the community that will feature around the seating area.

In addition to these striking entrance and seating features, further interactive and sculptural artworks will be commissioned, with a focus on celebrating Holman Brothers’ legacy and ensuring that this history is shared with future generations.

Stay Connected…

Holman Gardens will be a place for relaxation, reflection, and connection with nature, offering a new green space for Camborne’s residents and visitors. Whether you want to take a peaceful walk, enjoy the seating areas, or learn more about the town’s history, this space will offer something for everyone.

We are excited to share this journey with you! Stay updated on progress, artwork selections, and key milestones by following our website and social media channels.
