May half term trail at Trelissick
Visit 23 - 31 May and explore the garden, finding a series of activities that tell the story of Trelissick house.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
This year we’re celebrating the story of Trelissick house from farmhouse to countryside estate in the new exhibition ‘Building Trelissick’.
During May half term try your hand at a series of activities that bring this story to life. You’ll design your own coat of arms, find your ideal career on the Trelissick estate and play games in the winding paths of the garden.
Between 27 and 31 May the Victorian Falconers will be found in the Walled Garden to demonstrate how the Victorians revived the ancient art of hawking for modern times. There’ll be flying demonstrations daily at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. When they’re not flying, you’ll be able to see the birds quietly at rest in the traditional Hawk Mews, open 10am-4.30pm.
Pick up a free trail sheet from the welcome team to help you explore.
Admission to Trelissick applies, dogs on short leads are welcome on the trail route.
