Fowey Christmas Market 2012 now doubled in size!

The 8th Fowey Christmas Market takes place over the first weekend in December 2012.

The Fowey Christmas Market has been an unqualified success since its inception in 2005. Fowey is a wonderful place to do your Christmas shopping, with a fantastic range of unique little independent shops, great restaurants, hotels, guest houses, and above all, amazing views.
Combined with the huge range of seasonal products on offer at the Market, plus the many places to eat and drink around the town make this a Christmas shopping experience not to be missed, and due the success of the event over the last 7 years, the event is now split over two sites to accommodate the 160 or so traders who will be in Fowey over this spectacular weekend. Some traders will be housed in marquees on the Town Quay, and others at the Leisure Centre at the top of town

Running from:

Saturday 1st December 10.00 to 17.00 and
Sunday 2nd December 10.00 to 16.00

St Austell Carnival

The 3rd St Austell Torchlight Carnival will be on Saturday 29th November. See press for full details. This event has rapidly become established as something that nobody wants to miss. It has proved great fun for everyone involved, from the very youngest participants to the many more senior residents of St Austell and the surrounding villages. It is a great spectacle. Do not miss it!!

Starting out from John Keay House at 6pm, it wends its way down through town, and is followed by a night of live music. Come and be part of an event of which we can all be proud.
