A winning craft entry from the 2019 Cornish Winter Fair
The Cornish Winter Fair is a free event held entirely under cover in the Events Centre on the Showground. There’s plenty of free parking on-site, and the event runs from 10am until 5pm on each day. As well as the competitions, there is a massive market of Cornish gifts, food and drink available – the perfect opportunity to do a bit of Christmas shopping.
If you’d like to enter one of our competitions, your WI Secretary will have the full schedules and application forms sent to her with the next mailing from CFWI later this month. Applications forms will also be available on our website.
