A sailing trust in Cornwall welcomed visitors to its Christmas Fayre recently - which included a different mode of transport for Santa Claus.

The Children's Sailing Trust held their Christmas Fayre at Trevassack Lake, where Father Christmas arrived via a boat, and then entered his 'Floating Grotto.'

And despite the bad weather on the day, which included, hail, sleet, snow and thunder, and lightning, it was still said to be a "lovely day."

Not only was Santa spending his time on the water, but there were also stalls, crafts for the children, a raffle to raise funds for the trust, 'spot the snowman', and Christmas carols.

The Children's Sailing Trust is a charity set up to provide school sailing lessons and holiday course opportunities to more than 800 children and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) groups each year.

On New Year's Day, the site will welcome visitors to 'Swim in the New Year!'

Although Trevassack Lake, located near Garras, a few miles from Helston, will be closed on New Year's Day, the swim staff will be there from 10am until 12pm.

It will cost £6, which is included in memberships, and the cafe will be open for coffee and cake in the morning followed by bookable roast dinners from 12pm until 3pm.
