About Short Stay
Short Stay sits in Penzance town centre, offering parking for visitors to nearby shops and local amenities. It has an estimated 21 parking spaces (estimated from the site’s footprint) — not a lot, so timing your visit well is important. It’s an open-air surface car park, generally easy to navigate with good visibility of available bays. This is a paid car park. The car park is managed by Cornwall Council.
When to Visit
Town centre car parks tend to be busiest on Saturdays as shoppers head to the high street. If you can, weekday mornings before 10am or Sundays offer a much calmer experience. Evenings can also work well if you’re visiting restaurants or catching a show. With only 21 spaces, timing is everything — arriving during a quieter window makes a big difference here.
