Christmas at Cotehele: The Garland in the Hall

Celebrate the festive season with a trip to Cotehele to see the annual Christmas Garland within the Great Hall.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

For over 65 years our garden team has continued the tradition to create a 60-ft long Christmas garland using thousands of flowers grown on the estate. Get into the festive spirit by seeing this year's garland within the Great Hall, open daily from Sunday 22 November - Monday 5 January (closed 25-26 December).

The Kitchen, Breakfast Room, and Victorian Library within the house will also be open. The rest of the house will be closed to allow our team to complete vital conservation work over the winter.
