December is an exciting time in our newest Cornwall location. St Ives comes alive during the festive season, starting with the lantern parade on Monday 2nd December from 6:30pm. Father Christmas leads the joyful crowd through the streets of St Ives, right past our gallery on Fore Street, to the Royal Square for the Christmas lights switch-on from 7pm.
 
But it's not just the evening promising to bring festive cheer - the annual Christmas market will be held at the Island Centre throughout the day, with over 30 different stalls selling crafts and festive goodies with live music and plenty of food & drink. Plus, parking is free in Cornwall Council car parks all day on Monday 2nd December, so it's the perfect opportunity to plan a visit to our gallery and find an artwork for someone special.
