Where to find Father Christmas.
No one multi tasks like this man!! Popping up all over Cornwall during December, make sure you get some face time with the big fella to ensure all your Christmas dreams come true. If you are staying with us over the Christmas season, why not get into the festive spirit and take the kids to meet Father Christmas? You could always get them to put a good word in for you too……..
