We had another meeting yesterday for the Padstow Christmas Festival and things are certainly taking shape quite rapidly.  Many of the town’s businesses have already committed to join in and we were very pleased to have some of the national companies on board too:  with people like Fat Face and Crew Cloting in the mix it certainly adds an incentive for more people to come and therefore more of the independantly owned shops will be open too.

The entertainment around the shopping is cominig together too, we will have cookery demonstrations from some of the local chefs, a visit from Father Christmas and the Padstow Carollers singing too.  The carollers are exceptional with their singing, they come to us on Christmas Eve and are loved by all but for this festival they will be singing primarily around David’s Christmas Tree outside his wine shop Bin Two.  We haven’t forgotten the local traditions too so we will be involving the local school children in a lantern parade as well as art and photography competitions too.

There will be no shortage of things to eat and drink too - St Austell Brewery will have a tasting stand in the market and we are talking to Sharps too.  A couple of groups will be running barbeques and possibly hog roasts down in the town.  it really will be a special few days, I will have to make the most of this on the Thursday evening as we have dinners on on the other two nights so I won’t be able to get out.

We’re all very excited about it - come and see if we’re right to be!
