Santa’s Storytime & Festive Carols: A Day of Magic and Music

The magic of Christmas is in the air, and there’s no better way to get into the festive spirit than at Par Market’s Christmas celebration on December 23rd! We’re hosting a heartwarming event filled with holiday cheer in our Food Hall, and we’ve got something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Whether it’s listening to beautiful Christmas carols sung by local choirs, enjoying story time with Santa, creating a special friend at the Build-A-Christmas Bear Workshop, or participating in the traditional Christingle craft activity, this day promises to be packed with fun, festive moments you won’t want to miss!

Although the rest of the market will be closed, the Food Hall will be alive with festive magic from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, making it the perfect place to gather with family and soak up the holiday cheer.


Event Details:

🗓️ Date: Saturday, December 23rd

🕙 Time: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

📍 Location: Food Hall, Par Market, St Austell

Whether you’re stopping by to see Santa, join in the carolling, or enjoy a delicious meal, this event is set to be one of the highlights of the Christmas season!



Group Storytime with Santa 🎅 – Fun for All the Kids

This year, Santa will host a Storytime session for all the children together! Gather around as Santa reads a heart-warming Christmas story, captivating the kids with festive tales. While Santa won’t be meeting each child individually, he’ll make the event extra special by calling up each child to receive a gift.

Parents, it’s crucial that you drop off a present for your child before the event, clearly labelled with their name , so Santa knows exactly which gift to give. It’s important that every child has a gift to receive during Storytime to ensure no one is left out—seeing some children without a present would be heart-breaking, and we want to make sure everyone feels included in the magic.

Don’t forget: Make sure you drop off your child’s present in advance, properly labelled with their name, to create an unforgettable moment when they’re called up by Santa to receive their special gift!

PRESENTS TO BE DROPPED OFF AT DISCOUNT FOODS

Christmas Carols with Local Choirs 🎶 – Let the Holiday Spirit Sing

We’re thrilled to announce that St. Austell's local vicar, Chris McQuillan-Wright, has brought together two of the parish choirs for a day filled with beautiful Christmas carols. Their harmonious voices will ring out through the Food Hall, creating a festive atmosphere that will fill your heart with holiday joy.

As you wander through the Food Hall or sit down to enjoy a meal, the live music will provide the perfect soundtrack to your day. Singing along to timeless carols like "Silent Night" and "Mary's Boy Child" is sure to make this a truly festive experience.


Build-A-Christmas Bear Workshop 🧸 – A Cuddly Christmas Keepsake

Another festive treat we’ve planned is our Build-A-Christmas Bear Workshop. Here, your child can get hands-on and create their own Christmas bear, choosing the fur, stuffing it, and dressing it in festive outfits. Whether their new bear wears a cozy scarf or a Santa hat, it’s the perfect holiday companion to snuggle with on Christmas Eve!

Not only will your child leave with a soft, cuddly friend, but they’ll also have the joy of building it themselves—a unique keepsake to remember the day by. This workshop is sure to be a hit with children of all ages, making it one of the highlights of the event!


Christingle Craft Activity 🎄🕯️ – A Meaningful Christmas Tradition

We’re also offering a Christingle craft activity, an inspiring tradition that will bring meaning and creativity to your family’s day. Christingles are symbolic crafts made from oranges, candles, red ribbons, and sweets, each element representing an important part of the Christmas story. This fun, hands-on activity will give your child a chance to craft their own Christingle, learn about the deeper meanings of Christmas, and take home a special reminder of the season.

If you’re curious about the tradition and would like to learn more before the event, check out this detailed explanation here.


Festive Feasts at the Food Hall 🍽️ – Holiday Delights for Everyone

Our Food Hall will be open throughout the event, serving up festive favourites and delicious meals to keep everyone in the Christmas spirit. From hearty dishes to sweet treats like mince pies, there’s something for everyone. Warm up with a cup of hot chocolate, grab a bite to eat between activities, or sit down with the family for a festive meal—it’s all here in the Food Hall, and we promise you won’t go hungry!

The Food Hall will be the heart of the event, where you can enjoy the Christmas carols, watch the Christingle crafts, and keep yourself well-fed as you join in the fun. Whether you’re here for the whole day or just dropping by for a bite, there’s plenty to enjoy.
