Padstow Christmas Festival

Embrace the festive season with a trip to Padstow’s 5th annual Christmas Festival from Friday 7th-Sunday 9th December 2012 and see this Cornish fishing village come alive with celebrity chefs, culinary delights and festive fun.

A traditional Christmas market is held in a large marquee on the quay side, where stalls are laden with Cornish goodies and gifts. In the 2012 festival you can expect live cookery demonstrations from an array of culinary talent. With Santa’s grotto, fireworks and live music to keep the kids entertained, Padstow’s Christmas Festival certainly offers a great way to make the most of a winter’s day.

Amid scenic estuary views and carols around the Christmas tree, visitors can soak up the merry atmosphere whilst escaping the hustle and bustle of city life. Food and drink stands will be celebrating all things Cornish with seasonal food & drink on offer; expect tastings and full tums! You can also explore Padstow’s boutique retailers during late night shopping or enjoy a meal in one of the town’s renowned restaurants, cafes and pubs. The celebration will culminate with a special Christmas service and carols at the historic St Petroc’s church at the end of the festival.
