FALMOUTH GUIDE Independent ideas for your day out

Changing art displays above The Moor / FALMOUTH

Falmouth Art Gallery

Spend an hour with the gallery’s changing displays and the works selected from its collection. This compact civic gallery offers a different pace from the maritime museum: take time with a few pictures, talk about what catches your eye and try a sketch. A famous work in the collection may not be on display when you visit.

Before you go

Check the current exhibition and opening hours before setting out. The gallery has no café, so plan a meal or drink around The Moor afterwards.

The practical details

Where to find it
Municipal Buildings, The Moor, Falmouth TR11 2RT
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking
Ordinary entry is free. The council’s current visit page lists Monday–Saturday 10am–5pm as winter hours, closed Sundays and bank holidays; confirm the hours for your date because other local listings differ. Special workshops may require booking.
Access and getting around
The main entrance involves steps and stairs. A lift is on the right-hand side of the building, with a further entrance from Webber Hill at gallery level. Accessible toilets, baby changing and large-print guides are available. Contact staff about the most suitable entrance and current lift availability.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children
Use the doodle table or choose a few pictures to discuss together. Family workshops have their own dates and booking arrangements; ordinary gallery entry does not promise a workshop. Staff can advise on quieter visits and lend a folding chair.

Practical information checked 15 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.

Make it part of your day
