There’s nothing like the sparkling sights, exciting sounds and incredible smells of a Christmas market to get you feeling festive in Cornwall. From artisan food in Fowey to handmade gifts in Mawgan Porth, here are our favourites for 2025...
Every weekend from Saturday 8th November until Sunday 14th December at Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm
Home to our much-loved Rattler, watch the farm at Healey’s come alive across six weekends this November and December. The team are eager to welcome visitors into 'a fairytale world of mulled cyder and hearty food, Christmas songs and crafts.'
Look forward to twinkling lights, mulled cider, traditional Sunday roasts, carol singers in the Old Bottlery, and freshly cut Christmas trees ready to take home. Children will love exploring the cobbled courtyards, taking a tractor ride through the working apple orchards, and paying a visit to the animals on the farm.
You can book tickets for the event here.
Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th November at Fowey Town Quay, Albert Quay, Webb Street and Town Hall

One of Cornwall’s most popular Christmas events, Fowey’s Christmas Market attracts thousands of visitors to enjoy locally produced food, drink and handmade gifts. Showcasing an extensive collection of everything from Cornish clotted cream and award-winning cheddar to handmade jewellery and festive flower crowns, Fowey’s streets come alive with almost 200 traders each year. This year’s event is taking place over the 14th, 15th, and 16th November.
Pick up unique handcrafted jewellery from Sea Surf Rocks, stocking fillers from Kosel Candles, and unique gifts for those who love a pamper from Time and Tide Skincare.
With gifts chosen and carols sung, it’s well worth popping into one of Fowey’s lovely local coffee shops, pubs or restaurants that hug the harbour. We love North Street Kitchen for its small plates menu, or for a spot overlooking the water, head to The Galleon Inn.
If you're looking for somewhere to soak up the merriment, a stay at one of our Fowey properties would be ideal to make the most of the festivities.
Saturday 15th November
With four festive halls bursting with over 100 artisan crafters, you're bound to find something for everyone on your Christmas list at this popular festive fayre. Open from 10am, entry is free and there's on-site parking available. This event runs as a fundraising activity for extracurricular opportunities for the children of Newquay Tretherras School so it's a great way of supporting the local community while also securing one-of-a-kind gifts for your loved ones.
This year the festive market will feature unique, handcrafted gifts from local artisans. If you're looking to refuel after browsing each stall, take some time to relax at the Winter Craft Fayre Café with a hot chocolate and slice of cake.
Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th November
A celebration of food and farming, this popular event features over 150 trade stands, a Santa's Grotto, plus a discovery zone to meet animals at the rare breeds exhibit.
This free event runs from 10am until 5pm on the Saturday, and 10am until 4pm on the Sunday. When you've finished stocking up on Christmas gifts, head to nearby Polzeath to catch the sunset before dining at The Oyster Catcher.

Kickstarting Eden’s season of goodwill and raising funds for Cornwall Community Foundation, 70 independent stalls will take to the biomes in late November. Promising home décor, clothing and produce aplenty, take your pick from beautiful brands across Cornwall and beyond.
While the fair officially opens from 10am on Thursday 20th, a dedicated preview evening the night before is a lovely way to enjoy wine, supper and a spot of Christmas shopping.
Get inspired for this year’s stocking fillers, take a walk through the biomes or book an ice-skating session as evening falls – there’s plenty on offer throughout winter to spark the festivities. Tickets must be booked in advance. Find more details here.
Inspired by its sparkling sea views and luscious gardens, book a stay at our very own Eden. Watch the coast come alive this winter from the comfort of the outdoor pool, or explore the Rame Peninsula with dog-friendly walking routes nearby.
22nd and 23rd November at Bedruthan in Mawgan Porth
Encouraging visitors to put their own handmade spin on this year’s gifts, Bedruthan’s Christmas Fayre promises three days of ceramics, illustration, textiles and much more. Over 60 stalls and exhibitors will be at Bedruthan this year.
After the children post their letters to Santa, head to the sea-view restaurant and café for a Christmas afternoon tea, followed by a walk on the beach.
Looking to stay in Mawgan Porth this winter? Be tempted by one of our homes overlooking the beach with hot tubs and games rooms to satisfy all ages. Ready to welcome guests over Bedruthan’s festive weekend, some of Cornwall’s best restaurants and spas await on the doorstep.
