Christmas Markets,Cornwall

Traders have been left with questions and out of pocket, as Padstow Christmas Food Market is cancelled.

One of the South West's major Christmas Markets has announced it has been cancelled.But organisers have emailed traders to say it won't be happening this year because of "unforeseen circumstances".George Mald, from Cornish Rock Gin, said: “£4,000 is basically what the bill is. I’ve had no communication, no emails, and I’ve chased them Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

“I’ve had no reply. From what I’ve gathered from 10 other traders - they've received an email saying there’s no deposit refund.”Naomi Cartwright, from Padstow Candle Company, said: “It’s much a massive income for such a small four-day event. It’s the majority of my yearly income, because I’m very small.”

Erol Sadik, from Post House Interiors Lynmouth, said: “I will say disaster, I know that’s a strong word but I will say disaster and it could put some people into a very dark place. "We want to know what’s happened to our deposit money, and we want justice for all the traders involved.” In response, the event organiser Tina Evans said: "It is with great sadness and regret that I have been left with no alternative but to cancel the 2024 Padstow Christmas Festival.“Having paid out deposits and initial costs it has become painfully obvious that the festival could not carry on.
