The Padstow Christmas Market isn’t just about gifts and festive treats — it’s also a place to celebrate and support the incredible local charities and community organisations that make a difference every day.

In our Community Tent, you can meet representatives from groups supporting young people, families, emergency services, and those in need, learn more about their work, and discover ways to get involved. Stop by, have a chat, and help spread the Christmas spirit while supporting these vital causes.
