About this event
We’ll be celebrating Summer of Play every day between 19 July and 2 September with games, activities and outdoor fun for the whole family.
Get active and play tennis on the West Lawn, try lawn games or hold a race to the finish line. Who will be the champion? Embrace your creativity and make-believe in the stables where you’ll find a stage ready for you to dress up, put on a show and tell stories.
With different activities scheduled every weekday there’s there are so many reasons to play on repeat at Trelissick. Take aim on Mondays and have a go at archery or make-believe on Tuesdays with storytelling from local authors and volunteers. On a Wednesday stretch, breathe and feel calm with outdoor family yoga sessions and clown around every Thursday by honing your circus skills. Fancy dress Fridays are your chance to really let your imagination loose – we can’t wait to see what fantastical creatures you create.
Explore winding paths on the Trelissick garden trail, running throughout the summer holidays, and find the perfect spots for picnics and chill out spaces.
Summer of Play activities are free (normal admission applies), so you can try them all and come back again and again. Dogs on short leads are permitted in the garden at Trelissick, keeping paws on paths.
Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
