Arrival and parking

There is free parking within 300 yards. Please note that the car park will be locked at 5pm daily. If you are arriving by car, please have your ticket ready to show our staff either on your phone or a printed copy. If you’re a member, you’ll also need to show your membership card. You'll asked to show these through your vehicle window before parking. Those arriving on foot will be checked by a small team of staff who will adhere to social distancing. 

In order to maintain social distancing, please arrive within your timeslot. Your entry will be at the discretion of the property staff and will be based on visitor numbers and the ability to maintain social distancing.

Staying safe at Trerice

To help keep everyone safe, please follow social distancing and government guidance when you visit. And look out for signs while you’re here which will explain any changes to how you can access different parts of the site.

In line with government guidelines you will be required to wear a face covering in the house, shop and café. Please bring one with you. 

If you’re showing any of the symptoms of coronavirus, or if you've been in contact with anyone that has the virus in the last 14 days, please don’t visit. 

What's open?

The house, garden, café, shop, second-hand bookshop, car park and toilets at Trerice are now open daily though the hayloft remains closed for the time being. 

The café, garden and toilet facilities will be open operating a one way system to maintain social distancing.

The house reopened on 16 September, from 10.30am-4pm daily, last entry to the house is at 3.30pm. Visits are limited to ensure social distancing and entry to the house is not guaranteed on the day you visit.​ If you have a large bag or rucksack we ask you to leave it in your car.

Exploring the garden

The garden is looking lovely, but it won’t be quite as you’re used to seeing it. We’ve had almost no gardeners in the property for many weeks, while everyone stayed home and stayed safe.

We have a small team in now, but the garden isn't perhaps as well-groomed as you might be expecting. There are some weeds and rough edges; please bear with us as we do what we can as soon as we can, and instead enjoy all the many other pleasures that the garden has to offer.

Bringing your dog

Due to the small nature of the garden at Trerice only assistance dogs are welcome in the garden and house. There are local dog walks at Holywell and Crantock, near Newquay.

Help support key workers

To say thank you to our nation's key workers and all they have done for us, we're encouraging visitors to keep the first and last slots of each day free for key workers to use. While we are unable to 'reserve' these slots exclusively for key workers, we hope you will join us in thanking them by leaving these times free. If you or someone in your group are a key worker, please take the opportunity to book these early and late timeslots.
