GRAND SWITCH-ON 💥💥💥 NEWLYN HARBOUR LIGHTS this FRIDAY 12 DECEMBER from 6pm!
Tom keeping an eye on things after storm Bram has passed...
leaving very little landed at newlyn this week...
with the Enterprise in the process of putting together a new set of gear...
it was down to just a handful of the bigger potters keeping the harbour supplies going...
Thursday saw the scaffolding come down on the Old Quay after the lime mortar pointing had been completed...
and a few trusty hands moved in to rig the lights...
that will adorn a new feature for this year's Newlyn Harbour Lights
in the form of a fully rigged lugger, the Barnabas moored on the Old Quay.
GRAND SWITCH-ON 💥💥💥
NEWLYN HARBOUR LIGHTS
FRIDAY 12 DECEMBER 2025
from 6:00pm
Definitely a date! 🎅🏼🎄🎅🏼🎄🎅🏼🎄🎅🏼
🔴 Penzance Silver Band will be playing carols and entertaining us throughout the evening. Newlyn School will be singing from 6:00pm
🔴 The grand switch-on ceremony of the 2025 Newlyn Harbour Lights display will follow from the balcony of Newlyn Harbour Offices. We will be joined by the Mayor of Penzance, Cllr Stephen Reynolds.
🔴 Spectacular Firework display by Sonic Fireworks - British Firework Champions!
Please note: There will be an 8 minute hybrid firework display designed to use the quieter style effects at the beginning and then a gradual transition to traditional fireworks for the last part of the display. The fireworks will be fired at some stage during the event. It’s difficult to be specific about the exact time as prevailing weather conditions and wind speeds may impact on when the display will start. 🎅🏼 Father Christmas will be arriving onboard the Penlee Lifeboat
Penlee lifeboat, Ivan Ellen will be about 6.30pm accompanied by Pendeen Pilot Gig Club in their beautifully decorated gigs.
One lucky child will have the chance to switch on the lights with Father Christmas - free raffle tickets to enter this draw can be collected up until 6.45pm from a table at the front of the Harbour Offices to the right next to the main entrance gates on to the pier.
Our thanks go to Penzance Council for their generous grant funding and to Newlyn Harbour for their continued support.
