How to get here:
Newquay Orchard, Yeoman Way, Tretherras, Newquay, TR7 2SL
As we are only a 15 minute walk from town we ask, where possible, that visitors come on foot, by bike (or scooter or skateboard) or by local bus to the Orchard. This is important to us as an environmentally friendly space and reducing use of vehicles is a big positive thing we can do.
For those who do need to come by car, please park in the first set of parking bays you see on the left of the road. Please do not park in the bays marked for use by Newquay Sports Centre customers. Please find a map below!
We look forward to welcoming you!
