Avoiding the Royal Wedding in Falmouth

There are a large number of people that will be looking to avoid the whole event. Obviously staying indoors with the TV and radio off is one way to do this, but chances are you’ve got the day off working and will be looking to so something outdoors. In Falmouth, your best best avoiding the wedding will be the beach. By it’s very nature, the beach as no power so there’ll be a minimal chance you’ll see any coverage.
