Christmas at Cotehele: Creating the Garland

Take a peek behind the scenes as our team of gardeners create this year's Christmas Garland.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

See the gardeners hard at work as they start to insert over 30,000 dried flowers into the pittosporum base to create this year's garland.

For everyone's safety, there might be times throughout the day when the Hall might be closed to visitors to allow scaffolding and other equipment to be moved.

On Monday 10 November, work takes place outside as we create the pittosporum base. On Monday 10 November, the house will be closed. From Tuesday 11 - Thursday 20 November, work moves inside, during this time all rooms in the house except for the hall will be closed.
