An audience with Father Christmas at Trelissick
Join Father Christmas as he returns to Trelissick with a festive Cornish Christmas tale.
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.
He will be joining us at Trelissick on 6, 7, 13 and 14 December and then daily between 18 and 23 December. Storytelling starts promptly at 10.15am, 11am, 11.45am, 12.30pm, 2pm and 2.45pm. On 18, 19, 22 and 23 December there will also be sessions at 3.30pm.
Trelissick is open 10am-5pm during December, if you book an afternoon session we recommend arriving earlier to enjoy the Christmas festivities. These will include the house decorated for Christmas (Trelissick house closes at 4pm), activities and games in the stable yard, a Christmas trail and carol singing in the stable yard (dates vary).
An audience with Father Christmas is always incredibly popular and pre-booking is essential. We cannot guarantee admission after a session has started – please allow plenty of time to get to Trelissick and collect your ticket to avoid disappointment.
