Truro Christmas Market fills Lemon Quay in the centre of Truro from late November through Christmas Eve, running for over a month. The stalls showcase Cornish artisans and producers - handmade gifts, decorations, jewellery, seasonal food and drink, and local crafts.
Truro is Cornwall’s only city and takes Christmas seriously. The market runs alongside the city’s Christmas lights switch-on, late-night shopping evenings, and carol services at Truro Cathedral. The combination of the market, the decorated streets, and the cathedral makes Truro the best Christmas shopping destination in the county.
