A really fantastic show, enjoyed by the whole family (kids and grandparents). The show takes place in a smallish room above a pub, the atmosphere was great - brilliant magic accompanied by humour and lots of audience participation

Cornwall Football Golf

FootballGolf uses the same rules as golf but players kick a football into a hole. Think Crazy golf or adventure golf but supersized and kicking a football ball instead of using a golf ball and putter. There are hazards and obstacles along the way which make the game fun and enjoyable for everyone and a great outdoor activity. Players have to kick around, through, over or under various obstacles. The game of FootballGolf is suitable for anyone 5 years old to 80 years old. We have two 18 hole courses set over 18 acres with stunning surroundings.

Enjoyed the hillside course so much, we came back a couple of days later to do the park course. Great fun for all (even non-footballers), pretty views and really well-maintained and thoughtfully laid out site, with and a dedicated, friendly, welcoming team! We’ll be back again, to try to improve our scores!

Greenbank Heated Outdoor Swimming Pool

Pool Closed for 2020 Season Due to the COVID 19 pandemic we have had to take the difficult decision to keep Greenbank Pool closed for the 2020 season. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2021.

Reviewed By PhilR265 - Street, United Kingdom

The outdoor pool in Street is one of the few remaining in the country. An awful lot of them were closed down years ago and the land used for building. It has a large grassed area to sit on with plenty of large trees for shade on hot summers days. There is a tuck shop and takeaway cafe and it’s a short walk from Clark’s Village and the town centre. Highly recommended
