Padstow Christmas Fayre runs from Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 December 2026. The organiser describes it as a free, four-day, community-led celebration of Cornish food and drink around Padstow, raising funds for local charities along the way.
The confirmed 2026 programme includes food and drink masterclasses, an artisan market, family activities, carols, fireworks and a lantern display. Last year’s fayre hosted around 50 chef demonstrations, including Rick Stein, Paul Ainsworth, Emily Scott and Mitch Tonks, a Friday-night fireworks display over the harbour and a Saturday dog fancy-dress competition. The 2026 chef line-up and daily schedule are due closer to the event.
