1. The Montol Festival
A six-day arts and community festival, Montol celebrates Cornish midwinter traditions of the past, the midwinter solstice, and customs associated with ‘Old Christmas’. Culminating in Montol Eve on the 21st December, locals and visitors from all around are invited to dress up and join in on the longest night of the year in chasing away the darkness and celebrating the annual return of the light.
