On December 17, the town also marks the birthday of Sir Humphry Davy, the local chemist who invented the miner's safety lamp. In his honour, the town centre is filled with the light of a lantern parade.
Closer to Christmas, the town hosts the annual Montol Festival on December 21. The event celebrates the 'coming of the light' and Winter Solstice, with a parade of lanterns through the streets and the lighting of the Midwinter Fire.
