About The Drummer

The Drummer is a contemporary art gallery tucked away in Truro's cultural quarter, and it's the sort of place you'll either find yourself spending an hour in or wandering past without noticing. The space focuses on modern work - paintings, sculpture, installations - with a rotating programme that changes regularly enough to warrant a return visit if you're in the area more than once a season.

It works best for anyone with genuine interest in current art rather than casual browsers. If you're the type who enjoys contemporary galleries but finds the major London spaces exhausting, this smaller outfit hits a better scale. That said, don't expect revelations - it's solidly competent rather than groundbreaking, and on quieter days the space can feel a touch sparse.

The practical details are a bit vague - you'll want to check ahead on opening hours and admission prices before making the journey into town from your holiday park. Carnon Downs Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite sits just 2.9 miles away, making it an easy dash if you want to spend an afternoon in Truro rather than staying put at the park.

Pair it with a walk along Truro's Georgian streets or a pint at one of the proper pubs near the cathedral, and you've got a decent half-day sorted. It's not the reason to book a holiday in Cornwall, but if you're based nearby at Trevarth or Trethem Mill and the weather's turned wet, it's better than another cream tea.
