Plans for this year’s Cornwall Christmas Fair have been announced.
The Fair will take place at the Eden Project on Thursday 11 November, with a Preview & Shopping Evening on Wednesday 10 November.
After a year’s break due to the pandemic, Cornwall’s Christmas Fair will be featuring a mix of Christmas gifts, home accessories, clothes, jewellery and produce will assemble once more in the Eden Kitchen.
This year the event will be raising funds for Cornwall Community Foundation, as it plays a crucial role in supporting Cornwall’s struggling communities emerging from the pandemic.
For the last 30 years, the group of organising volunteers behind the Cornwall Christmas Fair have raised in excess of £780,000 for Cornwall’s cancer patients.
Due to the pandemic, this popular seasonal event was marked virtually last year with an online auction, raising £50,000 for the Cornwall Community Foundation.
Jane Hartley, Co-Chair of the committee of volunteers: "It is exciting to be setting the wheels rolling for the 2021 Cornwall Christmas Fair.
"We are so grateful to the Eden Project for generously accommodating us and again offering free admission to all ticket holders on the day of the Fair.
"Cornwall’s communities need us more than ever, with the forecast for the county looking pretty bleak and we are pleased to be able to do our bit to help.
