Father Christmas brings festive magic to the stable yard this December, where he’ll tell a special story of a Cornish Christmas at Trelissick. Once the storytelling has finished, he’ll hand out a small gift at the end to each child.
On 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 December join Father Christmas for a relaxed storytelling session in the stable yard at 3.30pm.
This is an accessible session aimed at providing Trelissick’s ‘An Audience with Father Christmas’ as a more relaxed and calmer Father Christmas experience. With reduced noise levels and crowds, we hope to create a less stressful environment with Father Christmas.
The festive story of a Cornish Christmas at Trelissick will last approximately 20-30 minutes with time at the end to receive a small gift from Father Christmas.
A limited number of ear defenders and sensory toys will be available for use in the relaxed sessions on the day and an access statement is available from our website.
