It will be free to park all day in Penzance Council’s Wellfields Car Park on Small Business Saturday, this weekend.

Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.

The free parking at Wellfields Car Park (next to Penzance Tennis Club) will complement the free parking also being offered at all Cornwall Council car parks on the first Saturday of December, December 3.

It is hoped that free parking will encourage everyone from across the parish, and further afield, to visit the town and shop local this Christmas at the wealth of wonderful local businesses in Penzance.

With reduced bus fares and the inter-changeable tickets across bus services, traveling without a car is now much easier and affordable

For those thinking about leaving their car at home and would like more information about bus fares, including day passes and town zones, should visit the Transport for Cornwall website: www.transportforcornwall.co.uk/#tickets
