Event Information

The Penzance Fair takes place in St. John's Hall which is situated at the top of the town and has full disabled access.

There is a sizeable car park at the Hall and buses pass in front (the bus station is located next to the railway station for anyone arriving by train.)

Local and national booksellers will be exhibiting, bringing with them second-hand and antiquarian books, maps, prints, ephemera to suit all pockets.  

There will be no on-site catering this year, but the regular caterers, The Cornish Hen, are offering ticket holders a 10% discount from their cafe about 200 yards from the Hall.

No dogs (except guide dogs) are permitted in the Hall.
