About
Padstow Christmas Festival transforms Rick Stein's Cornish harbour town into a four-day celebration of festive food each December.
More than 50 live chef demonstrations from Rick Stein, Paul Ainsworth and visiting TV chefs headline the programme, alongside a market of artisan produce, a lantern parade, carol singing and fireworks over the Camel Estuary.
Free to attend (aside from VIP Chef's Theatre seating), it's a genuine food festival rather than a typical Christmas market, drawing visitors from across the South West.
