The gateway to the Roseland peninsula is lit for Christmas, with the support of South West Water. 

Tregony is lit from the bridge over the River Fal, which marks the bottom of the village.  

The committee raised £350 via JustGiving to buy new lights, replace bulbs and make repairs in order to put on a heartwarming display.  

Christmas celebrations on December 4 included a lantern competition and parade for lower school children, Father Christmas and his sack of chocolates, St Austell Silver Band playing carols, hot chocolate and mulled wine.  

Committee member Mike Strut said: “We wanted to do something extra-special this year, in remembrance of John Smith, one of the founders of Tregony Christmas Lights, who sadly died in September. 

“The whole village is transformed into a festival of light. Villagers remark on how it brings a bit of light to the darkness at this time of year.”
