The award-winning Tunnel of Lights in Charlestown is preparing for its final run this December, with Santa himself set to make a special appearance on select dates.

The event, hosted at the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, recently won a Bronze Award in the Tourism Event / Festival of the Year category at the Cornwall Tourism Awards. It will welcome families for one final run, starting Friday, 6th December.

Meet Santa in Christmas Land

On 6th – 8th, 13th – 15th, and 20th – 23rd December, visitors will have the chance to meet Santa as he mingles with guests in the immersive Christmas Land attraction. Santa will be chatting with children, hearing their Christmas wishes, and posing for festive selfies.

On Christmas Eve, Santa will be occupied with preparations for the big day but will send two of his Elves to keep the festive spirit alive.

Lynné Raubenheimer from the Shipwreck Treasure Museum shared:
“Our team of creatives are busily putting together this year’s dazzling Tunnel of Lights and it’s very exciting that we’ve pulled off a real coup by getting Santa to join us on specific dates. He will be free flowing through Christmas Land and meeting our guests. It is going to be so much fun and a bonus for visitors as it is included in the event ticket price.”

A Festive Farewell

This year’s Tunnel of Lights marks the last chance to experience the beloved attraction. Lynné added:
“Our opening four dates of this year’s event are already fully booked, and tickets are selling at a record pace. Sadly, this will be our last event, but we are looking forward to going out in style and recommend that anyone wishing to join us books soon to avoid missing out, particularly on the pre-Christmas dates when Santa or his Elves will be with us.”

The event runs until Tuesday, 31st December, with tickets available to book online. For more information or to secure your spot, visit shipwreckcharlestown.co.uk.
