That would works out at cheapest seats £48 and most exensive £76 for an hour and a half show. Needless to say eldest daughter was taken to Dingles instead and had much more fun riding the dodgems and learning to drive a Burrell showmans engine while generating for the skid instead.
I have to say that I find it good value for a family but also the cafe is excellent. As I live so far away, when I am in Cornwall on holiday I will make the effort to stop off for lunch on the way back to Lancashire. Much better than stopping at the services and goes to a good cause. It is only a couple of minutes form the A30 and I can get the twin axle caravan on the carpark. I stopped off on the way back from Royal Cornwall Show with the Steam Yachts back in June and had lucnh plus had a quick ride on the Skid to mix it up for the journey home.

I wish I was closer I would pop in more often.
