Your guide to a
Cornish
Christmas
Hello and welcome! Thank you for picking up our free Guide to a Cornish
Christmas. In this strange and trying year, the importance of shopping
local and supporting independent businesses has never been clearer and
in Cornwall we are certainly a county that loves to love local. Whether
it’s jewellery makers, ceramicists, baby clothing, craft gin, chocolate or
homeware, chances are you can find someone in Cornwall who makes
and/or sells it. In this guide you’ll find a taste of what’s on offer this festive
season, from a range of experiences to treat you and a loved one to, be
it an evening of delicious wining and dining or a virtual Cornish Christmas
fair, to a host of independent retailers and makers where you can discover
stocking fillers and special gifts galore. It’s all here, so get planning and
preparing and make this Christmas full of love, locality and community spirit.
Nadelik Lowen!
Merry Christmas,

entirely virtual, with 50 makers set to show
off their beautiful products in a Facebook
Live event on Saturday 14th November,

Expect plenty of special offers, voucher
codes, demos and one-off handmade gifts
all made by local makers. Simply curl up on
the sofa, cocktail or coffee in hand, pyjamas
on and a passion for shopping local.

homeless people directly in Cornwall. A
donation page will be set up too for those

CURIO SPIRIT COMPANY
From the team behind the
pioneering botanical gin, Wild
Coast, Curio’s penchant for
creating fresh and tantalising
tipples is a year-round
adventure and at Christmas,
you can expect no less when it
comes to sourcing the perfect sip.
Still reeling off last year’s win
for Best Flavoured Gin at the
Great British Food Awards
2019, Curio’s Blueberry Gin
has been a ground breaker
for gin enthusiasts. Sourcing
blueberries from a former
Cornish monastery, this fruity,
smooth gin offers a rich
flavour designed to be sipped
neat or with the ever-present
accompaniment of premium
mixers.
Next up to the Curio range this
year is the Hard Seltzer. Set
for release in December, this
refreshing, high quality drink is
low in calories and packed with
natural flavours.
Finally, it would be impossible
not to mention Curio’s Coyaba
Rum range for Christmas.
Coyaba Banana Rum is certainly
leading the way in spiced rum
flavours and has celebrated a
70% increase in sales this year
alone. This bangin’ rum offers
lip-smacking tastes of banoffee
pie with spicy cinnamon and a
vanilla kick in a homage to the
rums of Jamaica, Barbados and
Trinidad. Blended to perfection
at the Curio distillery, this
revolutionary rum is perfect
for festive fun evenings. Don’t
forget, you can also find
Coyaba Rum in both Tropical
Mango and Salted Caramel
flavours too.

THE CORNWALL
PASTA COMPANY
For some, nothing says ‘winter warmer’ quite like a hearty dish of moreish pasta. Here, one
innovative Cornish chef has taken a love for pasta beyond the typical ‘spag bol’, bringing
together local flavours and authentic methods for some truly delicious results.
Originally from York, once upon a time Nicholas Egan was a professional chef, working
commercially and privately. Taking on roles abroad, Nick found himself found himself
spending time cooking, living and learning in Italy.
Earlier this year, Nick and his other half, former Michelin restaurant manager Priscila Picon,
launched The Cornwall Pasta Company into the world. Based in Falmouth, the launch was
an achievement of years’ worth of planning during which Nick and Priscila hoped to bring a
superior, locally produced pasta to Cornish households. Far from your standard supermarket
bought Penne, Nick’s pastas are bursting with local produce, blended into the pasta to
create rich delicate tastes and brilliantly earthy colours from the Beetroot Lumaconi’s deep
purple to the Cuttlefish Ink’s sultry black. Organic and foraged ingredients feature heavily
in Nick’s pasta and he focuses his foraging sights on a small radius surrounding the family
home. Under the belief that no food should be wasted, he’s constantly looking at what
seasonal ingredient can be incorporated into his pasta creations.
A normal day sees Nick starting at 7am and spending as much as 18 hours a day making
pasta. Nick uses a bronze die for his pasta, making for a considerably noticeable difference
in pasta quality. Its rougher texture allows pasta to cook better and absorb more sauce, a
must for any true authentic pasta dish. After creation, Nick checks each piece for its quality
as well as tasting it to observe its flavour profile before preparing it for the drying process,
Unlike most pasta, Nick also looks to pack as much flavour into each of his pasta ranges to
allow for simple, but perfectly balanced dishes that really lets the pasta shine. Authentically
made and championing flavoursome simplicity, it’s been a welcomed addition into Cornwall’s
foodie producer world and with more innovative creations on the horizon, Nick is just
getting started in turning this simple, versatile food product into a staple Cornish legend at
dinner time.

EXPERIENCE
THE PACKET INN
LAUNCHES NEAR
PRUSSIA COVE
Chef Ben Tunnicliffe and
Head Chef Matt Smith, the
team behind the renowned
Tolcarne Inn in Newlyn,
opened the doors to their
new venture this autumn.
The Packet Inn is an old
coaching inn situated in
Rosudgeon near the iconic
beach of Prussia Cove.
Classing itself as a Cornish
pub for all seasons,
championing country
and coastal produce and
working closely with
local suppliers to create
a colourful, seasonal,
weekly-changing menu
with plenty of vegetarian
and vegan options. From
a tempting array of small
plates to building your
own feasts, no two meals
are intended to be the
same and is a perfect
stop off for a quick
refreshment or a meal for
big appetites.
Having opened on
September 2nd, Ben and
Matt took on the Packet
Inn in the summer of 2020
and despite challenging
circumstances, the two
were determined to see
their new pub come to
fruition. Since its grand
opening, visitors have
raved about the delectable
and reasonably priced
small plate and attentive
staff.

Warm up in Jubilee Pool
For ten years, there were talks of creating a heated pool at Jubilee. The idea was said to have originated
from Charlie Nixon, the brother of former Jubilee Pool Director, Martin Nixon. Following a trip
to New Zealand, where its lively landscapes makes for some of the most incredible geothermal pools
in the world, Charlie suggested the idea in response to a discussion on how some of Jubilee’s visitors
struggled with the brisk waters of the sea pool. A decade and £1.8 million pounds’ worth of funding
later, and the suggestion has finally become a reality.
Of course, the Jubilee team had plenty of help, the £1.8 million invest project owes £540,000 of that
funding to a community of 1,400 as the result of a public share offer, in which 970 of those contributors
are local people. The remaining funds came through a mixture of loans and grants from Power to
Change, the Architectural Heritage Fund and the Cooperative Community Investment Fund. A real
community effort to see this project come to life now means that the pool will be able to open yearround,
offering a better service than ever before. There’s also upgraded changing facilities, showers, a
new café with double the seating capacity and a new multi-purpose community space.
What to Expect
The geothermal pool works by extracting warm water from a 410m deep geothermal well, which is
just ten metres shy of Brown Willy – Cornwall’s highest hill on Bodmin Moor - from sea level, to give
you an idea. Taking the heat from the water withdrawn and using it to heat pumps, distributing it into
the pool via a heat exchanger before re-injecting the cooler water back into the group, means that
the combined system can sustain the temperature of the pool with a very low carbon footprint. In fact,
80% of the new pool’s heat is geothermally sourced; the system is one of the first of its kind in the UK
and is set to act as a pioneering piece of technology for geothermal, low carbon heat supply.
What does all this innovative science lead to? A steamy 35 degrees of saltwater goodness for visitors
to bathe in and soak away the stress of the day in one of Cornwall’s most picturesque settings, offering
a unique alfresco experience within the pre-existing sea pool.
Local Discounts
Now open to the general public, tickets to the pool must be booked online and in advance and in the
true spirit of community, the Jubilee Pool team want to ensure that visiting the pool is affordable for
local people. Two discounts are available, one for Cornwall residents and another for Penzance Town
Council Parish residents, proof of residency is required.
There will be at least five sessions running every day, with morning sessions reserved for adults only.
Additionally, there will be three early evening adult only sessions per week, offering the perfect way to
relax after a hard day’s work.
There’s also hope for more exciting offers and packages for the future, experiences such as ‘geothermal
and fizz’ for sundowners as well as ‘geothermal and dine’ options. Customers will also be able to
combine geothermal sessions with treatments such as facials and massages.

New Year, new adventures
Could 2021 be the year you become your own boss?
Spending months in lockdown has certainly made many people
in the UK start thinking differently about their working lives.
From being furloughed to working longer hours, or even facing
redundancy, this year more than any other has given many of us
cause to question where our careers are headed. For some, it’s
a renewed eagerness to embrace change and start something
amazing of their very own.
Starting your own business can mean doing something you feel
passionate about, building something that’s entirely yours and
having the freedom to work whenever you choose. The first step is
finding that brilliant idea you can turn into a profitable business. It
might be through discovering a skill or talent you didn’t know you
had, developing a hobby you already love or inventing something
completely new that no one’s ever thought of before.
Sophie Tilston, a textile designer based in Falmouth, found that
lockdown gave her the push she needed to start using her talents
and finally get her business off the ground,
“I’ve always experimented with printing my own designs and
products and dreamed of running my own business. For nearly
four years I attended one or two craft fairs a year with some of
my designs, but I was only really testing the waters. Customers’
feedback was always really positive, so when lockdown hit, I
thought ‘I’ve just got to get started properly with this’. The Outset
programme was a really helpful insight into how businesses work. I
found the feedback from the advisors and my group so useful and
the structure of the sessions motivated me to do more each week.”
With an award-winning programme that’s helped over 1,000
individuals start successful businesses across the county in the last
10 years, the right support is something Outset Cornwall has in
spades. Mixing practical online sessions to help start, run and grow
your new business, together with tailored advice from a business
expert, and even an online learning portal, Outset Cornwall is
there to support you on every step of your business journey.
So, if you dream of being your own boss and feel 2021 could be
the year you go for it, contact Outset and start turning your dream
into a reality.

outset.org/cornwall or call 01209 311063.
