Falmouth Set for a Christmas Weekend You Won’t Want to Miss

Falmouth is getting ready to turn into a full winter wonderland as Festive Weekend returns on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December. The two day event brings back many of the Christmas favourites that have made it one of the town’s most popular celebrations.

Two Days of Seasonal Fun

Organised by the Falmouth Town Team, which brings together Falmouth Town Council and Falmouth BID, the Festive Weekend will run from 11am to 5pm on both days. Entry to all family friendly attractions is £2 per person, with all money raised going towards Falmouth’s Christmas activities in 2026.

Visitors can expect:

• An artificial ice rink

• A festive land train

• A giant snow globe

• Live carol singers

• Santa’s Grotto

• Christmas characters roaming the streets

• Snowy scenes throughout the town

Independent shops will be open across the weekend for anyone hoping to pick up Christmas gifts and support local businesses.
