Christmas is a magical time at Clovelly, so don't miss the fund-raising event that we all look forward to and the switching on of our Christmas lights. A brass band leads the procession down to the harbour. There's mulled wine, a barbecue, rousing carols and Father Christmas makes a surprise visit. At 5pm the switch is thrown and the entire village and harbour are lit up - it's a fantastic sight. And there are fireworks to finish off what is always a perfect day.
