At the heart of the Padstow Christmas Fayre is community — and that means celebrating not just what makes Padstow special but also supporting those who help keep our coastal community safe, strong, and thriving all year round.
That’s why we’re proud to announce that the 2025 Padstow Christmas Fayre is supporting three incredible charities whose work is deeply connected to the people, heritage, hospitality industry and spirit of the town:
🎣 The Fishermen’s Mission
🍴 Hospitality Action
🛟 Padstow Lifeboat (RNLI)
Supporting Those Who Support Us
Padstow’s identity is shaped by the sea, by hospitality, and by community. These charities represent the lifeblood of the town — the people who work hard behind the scenes, often in challenging conditions, to look after others.
🎣 The Fishermen’s Mission
For generations, fishing has been at the heart of life in Padstow and across the UK. The Fishermen’s Mission provides emotional and practical support to fishermen and their families — helping those injured at sea, struggling financially, or coping with loss.
By supporting the Fishermen’s Mission, we’re giving something back to those who risk their lives to bring food to our tables and keep Cornwall’s maritime heritage alive.
🍴 Hospitality Action
Cornwall’s food and hospitality industry is world-famous — but it’s also demanding, unpredictable, and often seasonal. Hospitality Action is there for chefs, servers, producers, and everyone working in hospitality when times get tough, offering financial and emotional support to those who need it most.
The Fayre is built on food, friendship, and the warmth of hospitality — and this partnership is a way to say thank you to the people who make that magic happen.
🛟 Padstow Lifeboat
The RNLI has been saving lives at sea for over 200 years, and the Padstow Lifeboat Station is one of the most vital and respected in the country. Staffed by brave local volunteers, they’re ready 24 hours a day to respond to emergencies in some of the most challenging conditions imaginable.
Supporting the RNLI and Padstow Lifeboat is our way of recognising the courage, commitment, and community spirit that keep our coastline safe.
A Christmas Celebration That Gives Back
Padstow Christmas Fayre isn’t just about food, festivities, and fun — it’s about coming together to make a difference. Through fundraising activities, and online shop purchases, we’re proud to donate to these fantastic causes that do so much for our local area and beyond.
