Enjoy Truro

The City of Lights procession and Christmas lights switch-on mark the start of our Christmas festivities on Wednesday 16 November, followed by late night shopping every Wednesday evening from 23 November to 21 December.

Shops throughout the city will open until 9pm for late night shopping and the streets will be filled with festive market stalls, entertainers, brass bands and carol singers, all rounded off with the festive smell of mulled wine and hot chestnuts!

 

Truro's cafes, bars and restaurants will be opening their doors to hungry shoppers and festive merry makers alike, with many offering special deals on their delicious food and drink menus.

 

The Christmas Truro pocket guide is printed every year to keep you informed of everything you need to know about Christmas in Truro. It includes an event calendar for the whole of December, a street by street shopping directory and comprehensive information on travelling to Truro. Plan ahead this Christmas, combine your shopping trips with carol singing at the Cathedral followed by mince pies and mulled wine and the famous festive street markets.

The Christmas Truro guide is available to pick up from the Truro Tourist Information Centre on Boscawen Street, participating retailers around Truro and to download here

Road closures will be in place in the city centre from 3pm on the afternoons of Wednesday late night shopping during December.

This will mean that the PICK UP and DROP OFF points for Truro Park & Ride will move to Calenick Street (rather than stopping at River Street and Victoria Square) from 3pm onwards for these evenings. Service times remain unchanged by this move.
