A large ticketed indoor Christmas market in the exhibition halls of the Royal Cornwall Showground, with more than 130 traders, Santa, reindeer and a giant Christmas tree.
Over a long weekend in mid-December the exhibition halls of the Royal Cornwall Showground near Wadebridge fill with more than 130 independent traders selling crafts, gifts and food and drink from artisan producers. It is run by the team behind the Fowey Christmas Market.
Alongside the shopping there is a giant Christmas tree, Santa, reindeer in an indoor enclosure, carol singing from local choirs, street performers and festive food such as mulled wine and gingerbread. It opens on the Friday evening and runs all day Saturday and Sunday.
Entry is by timed ticket, booked in advance, with a cap on numbers per session; Saturday is split into day and evening sessions. Parking at the showground is free, with more than 3,000 spaces. Well-behaved dogs on leads are allowed, though the organisers suggest the quieter times early or late in the day.
