Our Locations.

Real Ideas is comprised of multiple teams, each growing a specific area of practice in relation to our core themes: engaging people and communities; supporting creative businesses to start, grow and thrive; connecting children and young people with creative digital opportunities; working with individuals to develop pathways to positive futures; immersive innovation; place-based regeneration and consultancy. These areas of work are often delivered in our buildings, Market Hall and Devonport Guildhall (the Devonport Creative Quarter) and Liskeard Library.

Liskeard Library
Liskeard Library is a gorgeous Grade 2 listed Passmore Edwards library in the centre of Liskeard. It is leading the charge in keeping the love of books and reading alive. It has one of the hardest working book stocks in the county and library use is at a 10 year high! However, it is so much more than simply a place to borrow books - it’s a growing creative and community hub in the heart of town.
