Christmas on The Promenade

December, 2026

NEW this year, our Beach Promenade will come alive throughout December with a large glowing fire pit, live music, seasonal workshops, festive shopping and plenty of Christmas cheer.

Gather around the fire to roast marshmallows, cosy up with a warming cup of mulled cider or a glass of fizz, and feast on festive food in our winter tipi. Bring friends and family together to enjoy live entertainment and soak up the magic of the festive season by the sea.

On The Promenade, our Deli Café will be home to the Winter Wreath Pantry, supplying everything you need to create your very own beautiful winter wreath.

Our enchanting Grotto will be back where children can visit the man in red himself and his jolly elves! Open during the first two weekends of December

Meanwhile, Walters on The Beach will be the perfect place to enjoy a special festive meal, or pick up wine and cheese to enjoy beside the promenade fire. With Christmas trees, twinkling lights and the glow of the fire, the whole promenade will be transformed into a cosy seaside Christmas scene.

We promise a warm and festive atmosphere by the beach — the perfect place to gather, celebrate and enjoy the magic of Christmas by the sea.

Throughout December, we’ll also be raising money for Cornwall Air Ambulance, helping to support the incredible work they do across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

More dates, timings and details will be announced soon.
