Scallywags Café will be running a Christmas Fair with food and handmade crafts from 3pm to 6pm and the Tyacks Hotel is offering warming drinks and mince pies with Santa’s elves and reindeer.
“Our theme this year is Merry and Bright and Lamps and Tubes Illuminations have done us proud with their street and tree lighting installations,” said Anna Pascoe, BID Camborne Manager.
“Local businesses are looking splendid too with lots of decorations and some special activities planned.
“Christmas in Camborne is always special and we’re looking forward to a fun, very festive time.”
