Have a Nadelik Lowen at Trelissick this December with Father Christmas, local choirs and unique decorations inspired by Cornish Christmas traditions old and new.

For Christmas 2025 we invited you to celebrate Cornish Christmas traditions, both old and new, with us at Trelissick. The house was decorated beautifully with a mix of traditional and contemporary ornaments and displays, we heard magical stories from Father Christmas, and a family Christmas trail helped you explore the garden.

Please check back here closer to Christmas 2026 when you’ll see updates for the coming Christmas celebrations.
