Welcome to the new Official Mousehole Harbour Lights website.

The 2010 ‘switch-on’ will be held on Saturday 18 December at 7.30pm.

There will be the usual open-air Carolaire service at the entrance to the North Quay.  The ‘Carolaire Choir’, comprising of the Mousehole Male Voice Choir and members of the Mousehole Chapel Choir, together with the Pendeen Silver Band, will lead the community singing.

This year the lights will be switched on by the elder Statesmen of the Mousehole Male Voice Choir, The Male Voice Choir have been celebrating their Centenary Year during 2009.  The Carolaire service takes between 20 – 30 minutes depending on the weather.

From Sunday 19 December to Sunday 2 January the lights will be switched on from 5pm approximately until 11pm, with the exception on Saturday 19th December when the lights will be switched off from 8pm – 9pm in remembrance of the crews of the Solomon Browne lifeboat and Union Star coaster.

The last night of the Christmas lights will be Sunday 2 January 2011.

Please give generously to our collectors, as all money raised will fund the Christmas lights for the following year.

For Christmas 2009, the Celtic Cross on St Clement’s Island is being refurbished and will be powered by a wind generator.  We have had tremendous support from The Ship Inn, Mousehole, and St Austell Brewery to enable us to carry out this work.   The cross was featured in 1999 as our Millenium project and is still in place, thanks to Bolitho Estates, who kindly allow us to use this part of their property.
