Join us for two sparkling festive weekends this December, set against the enchanting backdrop of our UNESCO World Heritage Site.
📅 Dates & Times:
Saturday 6th – Sunday 7th December
Saturday 20th – Sunday 21st December

From mid-October, the harbour will once again be brimming with water, restoring its beauty for everyone to enjoy – in plenty of time for our Christmas Markets, to make them even more magical. Final completion of the lock gate is due early 2026.
We can’t wait to welcome families, friends, and visitors of all ages to celebrate the season with us here at Charlestown Harbour.
🎅 Santa bookings:
Santa’s Grotto is the perfect place for your little ones to meet the man himself and to tell him their Christmas wishes.
A visit to Santa includes entrance to his grotto and a present to take away. You are welcome to take your own photos. Polaroid pictures can be purchased separately on the day.
£9.50 per child.

Notes on Santa’s Grotto:
