Step inside The Royal British Legion Newquay!

Set in the heart of Newquay’s town centre lies The Royal British Legion Club.

Part of the National Royal British Legion; a charity proving financial, social and emotional support to members and veterans of the British Armed Forces as well as their families and dependents which has now been going strong for 100 years.

Providing the social scene is The Royal British Legion Newquay predominantly frequented by members; But in fact anyone can become a member or even a temporary member and visitors are welcome to see what its all about. So we thought we’d take a look for ourselves to see what they’ve got to offer.

Upon entering the club, situated on Trevena Terrace since 1974 customers are greeted to a warm welcome from all the helpful staff and club members. Stocked behind the bar are a vast variety of drinks to keep the thirst at bay for the whole evening.

Dotted around the club are large TV screens showing live sporting events from Sky Sports and there is even a dedicated area for those avid sports fans to get together and enjoy the game.

If sport isn’t your thing then step back in time in the newly refurbished Vera Lynn room; decorated with veteran war medals, replica ship models and the clubs all important ‘Vow’.

On most evenings you will find something fun going on at the club; whether it be ‘Open the Box’, ‘Bingo’ or the regular ‘Sunday night Quiz’.
