About This Event

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 to each child. He will be joining us at Trelissick on 5, 6, 12 and 13 December and then daily between 19 and 23 December. Storytelling starts promptly at 10.15am, 11am, 11.45am, 12.30pm, 2pm and 2.45pm. On 21, 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 4.30pm), activities and games in the stable yard, a Christmas trail and carol singing in the stable yard (dates vary).
