As winter draws in, gather with family and friends and begin the countdown to Christmas with a free festive day out at Pendennis Castle on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December.

With the Tudor fire crackling, choirs singing and a traditional folk play performed by staff and volunteers, it's the perfect place to soak up the atmosphere of Christmas past. There'll be festive crafts, dressing up and seasonal decorations, plus the chance to enjoy warming treats in the café and browse gifts in the shop.

The castle is free to enter on both of these days and no booking is required.
