Cornwall Christmas Fair

With up-to 70 independent stalls from within Cornwall and beyond, the annual Cornwall Christmas Fair, hosted in the sparkling surroundings of the Eden Project, is the perfect start to the festive season. 

The Fair features an abundance of gifts and home accessories, clothing and jewellery, and an array of the finest produce in the Food Hall. It's perfect for picking up Christmas treats, stocking fillers and local gifts. 

Each year, the fair happens over two days:

• Preview and shopping evening (19 November 2025), where you can enjoy wine and a delicious supper alongside your pick of Christmas shopping
  Time: 5pm-9pm
  Tickets: pre-booking will open in September on the Cornwall Christmas Fair website – there will be no tickets available on the door.
   
• Christmas Fair (20 November 2025), where you can make a head-start on your Christmas shopping, and enjoy some time in the beautiful Biomes in between your browsing. Please note, the Fair takes place in the Biome Kitchen.
  Time: 10am-4pm
  Tickets: pre-booking will open in September on the Cornwall Christmas Fair website – there will be no tickets available on the door.

The Fair takes place in the Biome Kitchen – Eden's main restaurant between the Biomes. Therefore, this food venue will not be serving food on 19 and 20 November 2025, and this space will only be accessible to Cornwall Christmas Fair ticket holders. The Med Terrace, in the Mediterranean Biome, will also only be accessible to Fair ticket holders on 20 November. However, other cafés serving light lunches, drinks and snacks will be open at Eden on those days and serving all visitors. 

Since its inception, the fair has raised over £1 million for Cornwall’s charities and in 2024 the Fair raised £68,000. This year's event will again be raising funds for Cornwall Community Foundation, as it plays a crucial role in supporting vulnerable Cornish communities.  

Organised by a team of volunteers, the fair is the ultimate Cornish Christmas shopping experience, with all proceeds (including a percentage of profits from stallholders) going to support Cornwall’s struggling communities through the Cornwall Community Foundation.

We open our doors to all Fair-goers for free on the day, and all funds collected from tickets go straight to the Cornwall Community Foundation.

This is in addition to the kind support from a number of business sponsors from across Cornwall.
