Families and loved-ones reunite, communities around the
country are decorated with colourful lights and wooly knitted jumpers with
reindeers on become ever so common; this time it’ll be Christmas Day and we can’t wait!
Christmas begins in Cornwall, with the City of Lights in Truro, which I think you'll agree from looking at the photos was pretty impressive. The great thing is that the City of Lights is just a taster of the many great events and displays to follow!
Christmas in Cornwall is truly magical, from harbourside
illuminations to festive fayre, we truly embrace Christmas in our county. There
are a number of wonderful events for you to enjoy running right up until the
New Year, below you’ll find a few of our personal favourites:
Christmas at Eden
What a treat to have this world-famous attraction just up
the road! At Christmas Eden transforms it’s Rainforest biome into an enchanted
wonderland, where all things festive are celebrated through live performance,
music and even a few guest visits from the man in red himself - complete with
reindeers of course! Be sure to make the most of their indoor ice-rink too, who
knows your family could contain the next Torvill and Deane!
Victorian
Christmas Fair
For the 11th time, Truro turns back the clock for
6 days by welcoming the glorious Victorian market. This market has been rated the 5th
best in the UK and will be visited by tens of thousands of people all looking
to pick up Christmas gifts and local high quality produce. Exhibitors are
handpicked to ensure only the best is on offer to visitors, Victorian attire is
also in the contract for them. You can
also expect live music and mulled wine! If you love impressing your loved ones
with unique and interesting gifts, then this one’s for you!
Nadelik at
Pendennis Castle
Nadelik is all about experiencing a true Cornish Christmas, including
the slightly odd traditions. This is a great event for those with children as
they can really get stuck into the activities planned, whilst parents can
assist and enjoy a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie (or two). You can
expect carols, dancing, arts & crafts sessions and “Lighting and Chalking
the Block”. We can guarantee you won’t
have experienced anything like this before!
Mousehole
Christmas Illuminations
30,000 people travel from across the county as this historic
habourside village is lit up for the festive period. For those of you who have
visited Mousehole before, you’ll know it is a very traditional, picturesque village;
add the lights and it really is a spectacular sight, which may I add is run
completely by volunteers. This is something you need to witness for yourself.
