A bit about the fair...
Any donations made here will contribute to a grand total raised by the Cornwall Christmas Fair 2026. This much-needed money – £63,000 last year – goes to the Cornwall Community Foundation (CCF) – a charity issuing small yet vital grants to Cornish communities in need. The winter months are tough and that's when we leap into action, with your help.
As a snapshot, the money raised at last year's fair went to St Petrocs, The Women’s Centre Cornwall, Young & Talented Cornwall, Wadebridge Foodbank, White Gold Cornwall and CCF’s Surviving Winter Fund.
Over two dates totalling no more than 24 hours, the fair brings together more than 50 Christmassy stalls and ticket holders whose purchases and entry raise vital money for CCF's work. If you can't make it this year, we're sad not to see you, but would be thrilled to have your support here. Thank you so much.
The quotes below show how your money makes a difference:
"The surviving winter crisis fund payment has been a huge support to our families. As is well documented, families of children with disabilities are more likely to be living in poverty than others. This is due to multiple factors, and is exacerbated by the cold weather over the winter. " Moorvision
"The funds provided through the Cornwall Christmas Fair will go straight to support the next generation of Cornwall’s young talent. Thank you” Young & Talented Cornwall
"We have helped a couple who are both 81 years old, they were ashamed to come to see us but we welcomed them with a cup of tea!. They explained that they had no oil so had no heating or hot water and had no food. We were able to supply emergency food along with hats, gloves, thermals, hot water bottles and arranged for an emergency supply of oil via another organisation. We also took them hot meals for a few days and arranged for a neighbour to bring them along to our food club and Saturday stock up." The Old Bank, Camelford
