Padstow Christmas Festival

Festival

A Cornish coastal town's festive food celebration, closely associated with chef Rick Stein's long-standing presence in Padstow.

Padstow Christmas Festival in Padstow, Cornwall, United Kingdom
4 DEC
Padstow, Cornwall, United Kingdom

Padstow's culinary reputation owes a great deal to chef Rick Stein, whose restaurants have anchored the small Cornish fishing town's food scene for decades, and this festive-season festival leans into that reputation with cookery demonstrations, festive markets and Cornish seafood on full display.

Fairy lights and a festive atmosphere fill the harbour town for the weekend, giving visitors a distinctly Cornish, seafood-forward alternative to the beer- and roast-focused Christmas markets found elsewhere in Britain.
