Congratulations Will!

This is a well deserved award as you bring so much to the town with your immersive, exciting tours which are a favourite with visitors. You are clearly passionate about Falmouth and its history and this award reflects that.

Well done! 👏👏 👏

I now have a lovely Bronze Experience of the Year from the Cornwall Tourism Awards!

I'm a sole trader, so there was something terribly heartening about being up there with lots of big 'proper' businesses.

Good times 😊

Welcome to Pendennis Community Centre 😊

Our centre is open! 🥳

We are welcoming everyone to fitness classes and a café, with two big studios that can be rented for any use. Our café is dog-friendly and we offer delicious locally-made cakes! ☕️🍰

The café is open 0900-1300 Monday to Saturday. The car park is open 0900-1900.

Fitness classes can be booked online- or just turn up on the day.

Community first 👭🧍🏼

We are run by volunteers – by the community, for the community.

This centre is on the site of the swimming pool that was closed by Cornwall Council because it didn’t make enough money.

We need a pool 🏊🏻🏊‍♀️

We believe Falmouth needs a public swimming pool and we were worried developers would turn it into luxury flats, so we asked to take over the site.

Our ambition is to redevelop the site into a low-energy functioning leisure centre with a 25 metre pool within three years. We can’t open the current swimming pool as is- it’s too expensive to run.

We need you 🙌

Please come and support us. Tell everyone to come up and see us. 📢

Please follow our Pendennis Leisure social media pages on facebook and Instagram.

The more support we get, the more likely we can succeed in our campaign to get funding for a public pool here on this site. 🤞💰

Thank you,

The team at Pendennis Leisure. 💙

Please Note: The Tall Ships Parade of Sail is cancelled. Sad news but the right call to make.

A statement from Richard Gates, on behalf of Falmouth Tall Ships organising group and Paul Bishop, MBE, Race Director of The Tall Ships Races Magellan-Elcano:

It is with great regret that, due to the adverse and continually deteriorating weather conditions, all of the organisations and partners involved in The Tall Ships Races Magellan-Elcano have made the difficult decision to cancel all Parade of Sail arrangements on Friday 18 August.

In addition, The Magellan-Elcano Race Start, will now be a virtual Race Start at sea on Saturday 19 August.

Arranging and delivering a public event of this size and spectacle, both on land and at sea, requires contributions from multiple organisations, including the emergency services, to ensure the safety of all involved. After evaluating all possible alternatives, it is the safety requirement and the welfare of the vessel crews that have been the foremost considerations when making this collective decision.

The Magellan-Elcano Tall Ships Race is a multi-port event, and this decision is also vital to enable ships and their crews to arrive in A Coruña in good time.

The team has taken a multitude of weather forecasts for both Friday and Saturday into careful, professional consideration. Ships will now be departing individually on Saturday, dependent upon the dynamic weather conditions and safety considerations for the ships and their crews.

The team recognises the bitter disappointment that will be experienced by everyone involved and invested in Falmouth Tall Ships. This includes the public, the crews, the local businesses, the sponsors and supporters, the volunteers and liaison officers, and everyone who has played a vital part in organising this impressive showcase within Cornwall’s historic port town.

We hope that everyone affected by this decision will understand and appreciate the circumstances which have led to it.”

We’ve supported Will from day one. We just knew had something special.

This proves we were right 😉

When I first started Falmouth Uncovered most of my tours were for couples.

Fast forward two years and I found myself asking 'Can I seriously take 50 people this evening?'

It's thrilling and joyous and hard to take in!
