Christmas & New Year in Newquay, Cornwall | The Headland

Magical Christmas Moments

Christmas Experiences in Cornwall

Celebrate Christmas and the New Year in Cornwall with a magical escape to The Headland. Our iconic clifftop hotel glows with festive charm: twinkling fairy lights, elegant seasonal décor and the scent of real spruce trees filling the air.

Settle into cosy sofas and admire dramatic ocean views as waves crash against the rugged coastline, all while the comforting aroma of glowing embers drifts nearby.

Indulge in exceptional festive dining, sparkling drinks and a programme of glittering entertainment that makes the season truly unforgettable. Families and four-legged friends are warmly welcomed in both our hotel and cottages, allowing everyone to share in the joy of the holidays at The Headland.

Stay With Us This Festive Season

Whether you're joining us for Christmas itself, hibernating cosily between the festivities, or seeing in the New Year in style, The Headland is the most magical place to be this winter. From champagne breakfasts and festive entertainment to long beach walks and black-tie celebrations, there's a stay here for everyone.

Festive Afternoon Tea

Available on selected dates between 14th November and 2nd January 

Indulge in our festive sandwiches, irresistible seasonal cakes, and scones, served with generous dollops of Cornish clotted cream! Don’t forget to collect your very own Christmas tree decoration from RenMor's beautiful tree.

Please note: Festive Afternoon Tea is not available between 23rd and 27th December or 31st December and 1st January. 

The Festive Table

Available every Thursday between November 12th and December 17th.

Forget the cracker hats and soggy sprouts of the typical Christmas party. This year, RenMor throws open its doors for The Festive Table, a proper festive lunch or dinner that trades the disco for something far more memorable. Exceptional food and warm hospitality with an atmosphere that feels genuinely celebratory. Whether it's a team gathering or a group of friends, this is Christmas dining as it should be.

For tables larger than eight people, please call or email our events team to book.

Come and see us before the magic begins

Before the festive season sweeps us away, we're throwing open our doors to our favourite people, our lovely local community. Join us for our locals' weekend on the 19th and 20th December and enjoy The Headland at its Christmas best.

The Newquay Rowing Club singers will be getting us all into the festive spirit on Saturday the 19th, with a mix of Christmas carols and sea shanties between 1.30 pm and 3.30pm. Sunday the 20th takes a gentler turn with Scenic Route bringing us relaxed winter vibes between 12.30pm and 3pm. 

Book into RenMor for a festive afternoon tea or settle into your spot in The Ballroom, where festive cakes and treats will be available, the perfect excuse to simply savour the atmosphere.

Visiting The Headland over the festive period?

From the 23rd and 24th December we have limited availability for non-resident guests, so please book ahead to avoid disappointment. The Headland will be exclusively for resident guests on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, reopening to non-residents on the 27th, again with bookings required. We'll also have limited availability on New Year's Eve. We look forward to seeing you.
