Flambards Village Helston Cornwall

We have been to Flambards several times. Unfortunately what could be a fine attraction is badly let down. The static exhibitions (Victorian and Blitz) are excellent. Sadly the remainder is mostly junk, too much is chargeable as extra and many of the staff are surly, or at least disinterested, many attractions are badly run or in disrepair. Interesting static displays of aircraft from the past have been removed. The habit of fleecing the customer starts at the high entrance price, continues through too many chargeable extras and is at its most blatant in the restaurants/cafes. Would not be bad if the high prices bought you quality food. I suffered one of the ...  Read the complete review

Good Victorian village, staff obviously hated working there...
Flambards is nicely laid out, easy to navigate around and the Victorian village is great. The downside is the staff were very unfriendly, we felt we were in their way all the time, and the cost. Once inside you then had to pay extra for the other rides. Left feeling ripped off and that we were a complete nuisance.

Flambards is a fantastic theme park that you really can spend all day at. We have been a few times and the last time we visited was last year. It can be expensive to get in, I think it cost us £50 as a family of 4 last year but sometimes you can get some special offers. Flambards is based around their Victorian Village that is a life size village with all the smells and sounds of victorian life, shops with all the traditional stuff in and it really is so realistic and takes you back in time. There is also a reenactment of Britain In the Blitz and here you get to experince what life was like living through the war again with all the sounds smells and ...  Read the complete review

I can only assume that those who have reviewed this so called theme park favourably are employees or share holders of Flambards. We are young fun loving family visiting Cornwall for the first time and we love the county but feel that flambards was a total waste of holiday time and money. Some of the rides were faulty, exhibits are poor to say the least. Top Tip save your money and spend the valuble time on a beach instead. Flambards is rubbish.
