There was a programme of festive events in Truro, Cornwall, from 21 November including Christmas Markets, and full details were listed on visittruro.org.uk. 

 

The festive events and activities delivered by Truro BID in 2025 were: 

• The City Centre Christmas Lights, which came on during the afternoon of Saturday 22 November.
  
  
• Wednesday 26 Nov - The Father Christmas Parade. To celebrate the first late night shopping Father Christmas in his sleigh, dancers, musicians and circus performers paraded around Truro and Rock Choir Cornwall provided  entertainment before the parade. Coodes Solicitors kindly sponsored the event.
  
  
• From 26 Nov - Wednesday Late Night Shopping + Monday 22 Dec - we organised traffic-free shopping areas and encouraged Truro's resident businesses to trade until 9pm.
  
  
• Wednesdays and Saturdays from 22 Nov + Monday 22 Dec - We co-hosted the Boscawen Street Christmas Markets with Truro Farmers Market and Cornwall Shop Small and managed the road clossure to create traffic-free shopping.
  
  
• Illuminated Reindeer Trail - we distributed around 90 reindeer Christmas lights to Truro city centre businesses to enhance their window displays.

Due to financial pressures decided to prioritise projects including installing and maintaining the city centre Christmas Lights rather than holding a dedicated Truro Christmas Lights Switch-on event. For details see our full media release.

 

We will back late this year to deliver events and activities for Christmas in Truro 2026 including Truro's City Centre Christmas Lights!
