What to expect from Cornwall this Christmas
As the festive season approaches, Cornwall is set to transform into a winter wonderland filled with charm, tradition, and sparkle. In Truro, the enchanting Christmas Market on Lemon Quay runs from late November to Christmas Eve, inviting visitors to browse the festive cabins to find unique gifts and sample local delicacies. Wednesdays bring the added magic of Late Night Shopping, where you’ll find extra street markets, food and entertainment, perfect for a leisurely evening of gift hunting.
Cornwall is also set to sparkle this Christmas with enchanting light displays. Heligan’s Night Garden is a firm favourite in the Cornish Christmas calendar, where lanterns illuminate winding paths, transforming the historic gardens into a glowing wonderland.
That’s not all; at the Eden Project, step into a sparkling symphony of colour with the all new after dark magical Christmas Lights Experience, dance across our glittering ice rink, meet Father Christmas and his playful Elves in a spellbinding theatrical family adventure, toast marshmallows at our warming fire pits and take a spin on our beautiful Christmas Carousel.
