Christmas lights throughout Cornwall - Please confirm all information before making any arrangements.
Truro - City of Lights
Wednesday 19th November
Held in mid November each year, the event sees a dazzling procession of withy and tissue lanterns float through the streets, handmade and carried by professional artists, Cornish school children and local community and youth groups. Each year is themed, 2014 being 'Heroes' inspired by the ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances, particularly in the First World War. 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.
Padstow
Sunday 7th December
Come and see the twinkling Christmas lights which light up the town and the harbour. The carol service will take place on the band stand. Come and enjoy the local Padstow Carolers singing traditional Padstow Christmas Hymns which are traditional to Padstow and its Christmas experience.
Mousehole
13th December
There will be an open-air Carolaire service at the entrance to the North Quay. The ‘Carolaire Choir’, comprising of the Mousehole Male Voice Choir, Members of the Mousehole Methodist Church and friends from the community together with the Pendeen Silver Band, will lead the community singing. This year the lights will be switched on by Mr John and Mrs Marilyn Bryer.
If wet weather, the Carolaire service will be held in Mousehole Methodist Church.
The Christmas lights in Mousehole are a stunning sight, with floating displays of lights in the harbour and around the streets that are filled with the aroma of mulled wine and festive food. You’ll see a fantastic display of sea serpents, fishing boats and whales colourfully lighting up one of Cornwall’s most welcoming harbours. Centrepiece is the millennium Celtic cross on St Clement Island, powered ever so greenly by a wind generator. The village is ablaze with colour whilst the lights are on and to really appreciate the displays, walk around the narrow streets and follow the winding strings of lanterns as they disappear around the corner into yet another street barely wide enough to walk through. Have a browse around the local gift shops and stop for a meal and a drink in one of village restaurants, cafes or pubs.
The lights will then be on each evening between 5pm and 11pm from Sunday 14th December 2014 until Saturday 3rd January 2015 (With the exception of 19th Dec, when the lights will be dimmed between 8-9pm).
