Christmas Carol Wreath Trail

This year, St Michael’s Mount is marking the Christmas season with a project organised by the St Aubyn Foundation involving eleven local primary schools, and the children who live on the Mount. They were tasked with creating a Christmas wreath with each design based on a Christmas carol selected by one of the island’s resident families.

The wreaths have been hidden around the harbour village for visitors to find as part of the Christmas Carol Wreath Trail. Each wreath includes a QR code that leads to a recording of the chosen carol sung by the children who designed them.

The Christmas Carol Wreath Trail provides a festive way to explore the island and discover the thought and creativity the children have put into this collaboration. The trail can be viewed on the island from Thursday 04 December. Access is free to all visitors and dogs are welcome.
