Worth the trip from Helston

The best night out I’ve had in ages!

Getting here from Helston

The journey

Around twenty-five minutes along the A394 into Penzance. Park at the harbour and walk up; New Street is minutes away.

It’s a straightforward run over, and an easy way to give a Lizard-based week something different from another headland and another pasty.

There are no toilets in the rooms themselves — the gallery upstairs and several spots on New Street are all a minute away, so go before the clock starts.
