THE National Lobster Hatchery has been named the Best Family Attraction in Cornwall in the 2024 Muddy Stilettos Awards. 

Based on the Padstow waterfront, the hatchery and its lobsters have captured the love of locals and visitors alike. 

Nicola O’Donnell, chief operations officer of the charity, said: "We are over the moon to receive the Muddy Stilettos Best Family Attraction Award for Cornwall. It feels incredible to have the hard work of our team recognised by our visitors.

"We invite families to join us during this exciting time and witness the magic of our baby lobsters!”
