Once in Fowey:
We have arranged for help to be available to unload your vehicle as severe road blocks could be caused by vans and cars all arriving at the same time. Bring your vehicle down into the Town Centre, where you will see the marquees on Town Quay - see map.
BEWARE - the streets of Fowey are very narrow - the maximum width of vehicle that can get through the streets is a transit at just over 2 metres. Volunteers will be on hand to assist you unloading. Once completed, please take your vehicle to the Main Car Park on Hanson Drive - see map, where a minibus will drive you back to your stand. The daily parking charge is £4 unless your vehicle takes up two places, in which case it will be £8. There may be a few places at Caffa Mill Car Park, on the riverside where the Bodinnick Ferry departs, but the charges are higher. At the end of the Market, help will be available to load your vehicle, hopefully with far less stuff than when you arrived!!
