Celebrate a Cornish Christmas at Trelissick

Enjoy a Nadelik Lowen at Trelissick this December with Father Christmas, local choirs, festive decorations and seasonal treats inspired by a Cornish Christmas.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

We'll be celebrating daily from 5 December to 3 January (closing at 2pm on Christmas Eve and closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day).

This year's decorations take inspiration from Christmas gifts, traditions of giving and Cornish festivity. Enjoy performances from local choirs and musicians in the stableyard, listen to stories from Father Christmas, and discover beautiful decorations throughout the house.

You'll also find plenty of festive gifts in the National Trust shop and Christmas craft fair (5 – 8 December), along with warming seasonal treats in Crofters Café and the house tearoom.

Admission to Trelissick applies (free for National Trust members), advanced booking for Father Christmas is essential.
