Kill the Bill protestors have announced an unauthorised protest march on the G7 Media Centre this afternoon.
Protestors are meeting at the Falmouth Princess Pavilion now to march on the Media Centre in the Maritime Museum.
The group claim that the media centre has its own exclusion zone in a post on Facebook.
They say their right to protest has been limited to police approved sites and they are not going to obey them.
The post says: "The G7 leaders are protected by 6,000 cops. The policing operation and the messaging police have put out about protest is a taste of things to come if the Police, Crime and Sentencing Bill goes ahead. Our right to protest will be limited to police approved sites.
"Police liaised, police approved protest is not protest. Our rights were won through noisy, disruptive and annoying protest. Kill the Bill Cornwall does not liaise with the police. We do not ask permission to protest."
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill is currently at committee stage in Parliament.
If passed, the police will be able to impose conditions on protests they see as too noisy.
Devon and Cornwall Police have allocated different protest zones in Falmouth, St Ives, Carbis Bay and Truro.
Police protest liaison officers have been appointed.
UPDATE: At the Kill the Bill protest outside the International Media Centre in Falmouth it's pretty noisy, with a couple of hundred people carrying out anti police chants.
Lots of people in black balaclavas are gathered around the media centre entrance, where there is a heavy police presence.
