Christmas at Cotehele: 70 years of the Garland

Celebrate the festive season with a trip to Cotehele to see this year's Garland marking 70 years of the Christmas tradition within the Great Hall.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

For 70 years, our garden team has continued the tradition of creating a 60-ft long Christmas garland using thousands of flowers grown on the estate. Get into the festive spirit by seeing this year's anniversary garland within the Great Hall, open daily from Saturday 21 November - Tuesday 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.
