Out-of-Season's Greetings
Of course I am biased but I have to say that we do Christmas so well in Cornwall. With so many Christmas Markets and Fairs vying for shoppers attention they begin in November so it all kicks off fairly early. It feels like the season formally begins with Turo’s City of Lights (Wednesday 18 November from 7pm) which sees a dazzling procession of withy and tissue lanterns float through the streets. They are handmade and carried by professional artists, Cornish school children and local community and youth groups. The event includes the official switch on of Truro’s Christmas lights, plus music and dance from Truro School of Samba and other local bands. After this the markets and fairs come thick and fast, here’s a round-up: Trereife Christmas Fair, Penzance - 20–22 November Made in Cornwall Christmas Fair, Truro - 25-29 November Padstow Christmas Festival, Padstow - 3-6 December Fowey Christmas Market, Fowey - 4-6 December (Kate’s favourite) Outlaw Christmas Market,
