Falmouth & Penryn Packet

The Falmouth & Penryn Packet is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in and around the towns of Falmouth and Penryn on the southern coast of western Cornwall.

It’s published by Packet Newspapers from editorial offices in Falmouth and is the lead title in a series of Packet weekly paid-for tabloids for central Cornwall (the name comes from the packet ship service that ran from Falmouth for nearly two centuries until 1851). Packet Newspapers is a subsidiary of the Newsquest newspaper group’s South West division.

All the Packet titles, plus the closely associated Helston & District Gazette, share a common website; the link below is to the Falmouth news pages. (There are currently (July 2011) five Packets; there were four until the excitingly named Penwith Pirate was replaced by the West Cornwall Packet in 2010.)

It comes out on Wednesdays.
