A word to the wise -

Make sure that you park in the correct car park to avoid the fine.

 

The car park you want is (was last time) just inside the park and a walk up the hill.

 

There is a good café on site, I think it is a Costa.

 

Don't forget that Kernow are also in Guildford.

Thanks for the heads up Dave - I had it in my calendar from flyer from another show.

 

Does anyone know, aside from Freshwater, are any of the layouts featured on RMWeb?

I once hired a van from a place in Guildford, and it proudly proclaimed on its sides that it was from Guilford (without the D) :-)

 

Anyway, I should be there with Freshwater, provided there are no unforeseen circumstances.

I was thinking of visiting, but Kernow seem to have chosen the most difficult shop to find free parking near in the entire of Southern England! So I might not bother.

Hi Jon,

 

On a Sunday, you can often find parking in the side streets around the shop, so you might be lucky in finding a space.

 

Otherwise it is a short walk up to the College car park in Stoke Road but it is free. The alternative is park in Waitrose, which is free if you go and buy something in there (there is a small take away cafe if you want to stop for a tea or coffee).

I think you have to spend £15 or more in Waitrose, that gives you 90 minutes free parking.  Its a 5 minute walk from Kernow.

The exhibition was quite busy this morning, and much of the afternoon. Very enjoyable.
