What's on in Penzance

Penzance sits right on the sea and manages to keep its head above water even when the weather turns foul. The Cornwall Contemporary has been showing off local art for years while the Lighthouse Gallery puts on displays that make you want to stop and stare at the view from the window. Morrab Library runs workshops that are useful enough to actually learn something without feeling like a classroom again. Pub nights pop up through the week and the odd community event keeps things interesting around town. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
