The Children's Sailing Trust (CST) is hosting a Christmas Craft Fayre complete with floating Santa's grotto, which families can visit for free. 

The event takes place on Saturday, December 9 at Trevassack Lake, from 10am to 4pm.

It aims to raise funds for the charity which has been providing sailing opportunities for local children for 25 years.

Little ones will have the opportunity to see Santa in a Floating Grotto and receive a free gift.

Attendees can also grab last minute stocking fillers from local crafters' stalls such as Shore Things UK, One Blue Eye, Cornwool Knits, Mor Maids, Katie Creative, Alison Jewell, Bryony Kerins and Carol Kershaw.

CST's main goal is to give children sailing opportunities which, in turn, enable the acquisition of life skills like confidence, competence, resilience and critical thinking.

Earlier this year, CST welcomed Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh GCVO to its headquarters.

The charity relies significantly on fundraising, grants, and donations.

Money raised is used to cover the cost of running subsidised Helford River sailing courses as well as continuing to provide experiences for young people.

Trevassack Lake, between Garras and Goonhilly Downs, on the Lizard Peninsula, was officially opened in late October 2021, following delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
