Tips & Advice
- Wear sensible, non-slip footwear as the village's steep, cobbled High Street can be slippery, especially in damp weather.
- Arrive early to secure a good spot for the procession and the main light switch-on ceremony.
- Consider using public transport as parking can be limited, and buses run directly to Clovelly from nearby towns.
- Bring cash for refreshments and any donations to the RNLI, as not all vendors may accept cards.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in warm layers, as the event takes place outdoors by the harbour.
