Hey ziggie you may get some good idea
S if you post on the local page. I am in Truro, and here is my two-penneth.
Festival of Lights, I can't find a link but it is the first .wednesday of late nit shopping. A lovely atmosphere, get to town early and stand outside the museum for a great view... And hot refreshments served by its fab cafe.
If you have annual membership to trebahgarden the winter trail and Santa is beautiful, and to be honest I thinkit is o e of the best local places to pay for for a year. Always fabulous half term things etc
Ice skating... Eden is busy and magical but there will be skating outside Truro cathedral again this year. Book for one of the cheaper, quieter toddler sessions and huddle down with a hot chocolate in the Truro arts cafe afterwards.
Truro art cafe for festive activities... And the best hot chocolate or cream tea in town. Cosy sofas and the log burner is alive and warm on cold days.
Christmas lights on fishing boats after Xmas at Padstow.
St Michaels mount on a crisp winters day is magical and the park at Marazion is v toddler friendly.
Heartlands will surely be doing a festive something.
I think this year it is the Messiah on at the cathedral, it happens every other year. 2pm Saturday is the rehearsal and, having stumbled across it looking at the nativity scene when eldest was a toddler, we now go every year. Magical.
Xmas eve live nativity parade through Truro. Including animals. Bonkers. My kids love it. Even the eldest grumpiest!
And not one for the children... But grab a friend and go late night shopping in Truro and call in at the old grammar school for paella and vin chaud or similar. Not traditional, but it has become part of my seasonal calendar, Truro has a lovely atmosphere to shop in late night and this place is one of the best pit stops.
Oops sory for ramble of an answer... As you can see I love being local for Christmas!
