70 years ago, in 1955, Ida Copeland generously gifted the garden and estate of Trelissick to the National Trust. This year we celebrate her donation with exhibitions that tell the story of both the Copeland’s Trelissick and the Trelissick we know today.
‘Your Trelissick’ is the second of two exhibitions in the house and will feature artwork, prose and memories submitted to Trelissick from visitors, volunteers and staff.
Throughout the summer the Trelissick team invites visitors to participate and share their memories of the estate. There will be guest books and sketchbooks to write and draw recollections and inspirations.
Local artists will lead workshops and there will be sketchbooks and prompts in the house to encourage artistic responses to the question: ‘what does Trelissick mean to you?’
If you would like to take part and submit a postcard sized piece of work, the deadline for submissions is 10 August and blank postcards can be collected from the Visitor Reception and House.
Submissions can be posted to Trelissick, Feock, Truro, TR3 6QL, emailed to trelissick@nationaltrust.org.uk or dropped in at visitor reception.
Admission to Trelissick applies, only assistance dogs are permitted in the house.
