Why Par Market is Cornwall’s Ultimate Christmas Shopping Wonderland

Updated: Oct 19

Ah, Cornwall at Christmas—a time of twinkling lights, brisk walks by the sea, and, of course, the festive flurry of holiday shopping. But let’s be real for a second: Christmas shopping can sometimes feel less “joy to the world” and more “stress to the max.” Fighting the crowds, hunting for parking (usually somewhere in outer Siberia), and scrambling to find something better than last-minute socks for your dad? No, thanks.

But what if there was a place that offered stress-free Christmas shopping, packed with unique gifts, festive fun, and, most importantly—free parking right at the door? Welcome to Par Market, Cornwall’s one-stop destination for all things Christmassy. Whether you’re after quirky gifts or festive family fun, Par Market has got you covered.

So, why is Par Market the best spot for Christmas shopping in Cornwall? Let us unwrap all the reasons why you’ll want to make this your festive HQ.


1. Free Parking—And We Mean RIGHT Outside the Door! 🚗🎁

Forget about battling for parking spaces in the next postcode. At Par Market, we’ve got free parking right outside the market. Yep, you heard that right—no circling multi-storey car parks and certainly no 10-minute hike from some distant tundra. With one level and direct access to the market, you’re stepping out of your car and straight into the festive magic.

So while other shoppers are trekking back to their cars somewhere near Siberia with their Christmas loot, you’ll be smugly strolling back to your vehicle, which is conveniently parked just steps away from the market. Now that’s what we call a Christmas miracle!


2. Unique Christmas Gifts You Can’t Find Anywhere Else 🎁🛍️

On the hunt for Christmas shopping ideas that are a bit more special than the usual high-street stuff? Par Market is brimming with traders offering the quirkiest, coolest, and most creative gifts you won’t find anywhere else. From handcrafted jewellery and eco-friendly products to vintage treasures and bespoke crafts, we’ve got something for everyone on your list (even that one person who’s impossible to shop for).

3. A Cool Lineup of Festive Events 🎉🎄

But wait—there’s more than just shopping at Par Market! This festive season, we’ve got a lineup of cool events that will get even the biggest Scrooge feeling jolly.

4. Santa’s Grotto—The North Pole Has Nothing on Us 🎅🎁

Nothing says “Christmas magic” like a visit to Santa’s Grotto, and ours is one of the best in Cornwall. Bring the little ones to meet the big guy himself, where they can share their Christmas wishes and walk away with a special gift straight from Santa’s workshop. It’s the perfect family moment—filled with festive cheer and maybe a few happy tears when Santa remembers exactly what’s on their wish list.

And because we know your little elves will be eager, we’ve made it easy for you to get all the details. Head over to our [Santa’s Grotto Page] for more info on opening times and to make sure you don’t miss this magical experience.



5. The Nutcracker Trail—A Festive Treasure Hunt for All Ages 🧸❄️

For a little extra Christmas adventure, bring the whole family along for our Nutcracker Trail! Scattered around the market are life-sized Nutcracker soldiers waiting to be found. It’s part treasure hunt, part festive fun, and completing the trail could even win an iPad Air and some amazing prizes.

It’s perfect for keeping the kids entertained while you shop—and, let’s be real, it’s a lot of fun for the grown-ups, too! Want to know more? Check out all the details on our [Nutcracker Trail Page]to get involved.

6. Festive Fuel—Indulge in Christmas Treats at Our Food Hall 🍰🍷

Feeling peckish after all that shopping? Don’t worry, we’ve got the cure! Our Food Hall is a haven of festive delights, with local vendors serving up everything from Mexican, and pizza to roasts and jacket potatoes, coffee, and Cornish pasties (because it’s Cornwall, and it’s the law). Whether you need a quick snack or a full-on festive feast, we’ve got everything to keep your energy—and holiday spirit—up.

And hey, it’s Christmas, so you’ve got full permission to indulge. After all, everyone knows Christmas calories don’t count!



7. Support Local and Spread the Festive Cheer 🌟🎄

By choosing Par Market for your Christmas shopping, you’re doing more than just checking off your gift list—you’re supporting Cornwall’s amazing local traders and artisans. Every purchase you make helps small businesses thrive during the festive season, keeping the local economy strong and the community spirit alive.

Whether you’re buying handmade jewellery, unique crafts, or a delicious treat from the Food Hall, you’re directly supporting the people who make Cornwall such a special place. So this Christmas, why not shop local and give gifts with a little extra heart?

8. Par Market: Your One-Stop Christmas Wonderland 🎁🎄

With everything from unique gifts to cool festive events, a magical Santa’s Grotto, and the Nutcracker Trail, Par Market truly has it all. And let’s not forget—free parking that’s just a few steps from the action (goodbye, Siberia!).

Whether you’re looking for a festive day out with the family or just a one-stop destination to get all your Christmas shopping done, Par Market is where Christmas in Cornwall comes to life.
