Your Trelissick: celebrating 70 years of National Trust at Trelissick

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 features artwork, prose and memories submitted to Trelissick from visitors, volunteers and staff.

Throughout the summer the Trelissick team invited visitors to participate and share their memories of the estate. There were guest books and sketchbooks to write and draw recollections and inspirations. Local artists lead workshops and there were sketchbooks and prompts in the house to encourage artistic responses to the question: ‘what does Trelissick mean to you?’

After receiving over 500 submissions across multiple mediums the Trelissick team are delighted to display them in the house this autumn, open daily until 2 November.
