Uncover the magic of Trebah this summer, with an exciting line-up of family-friendly events and unforgettable experiences for visitors of all ages.
Set within one of Cornwall’s best sub-tropical gardens, Trebah is the perfect place to create special memories during the school summer holidays. Whether you’re looking for creative workshops, live theatre, outdoor music, or hands-on nature activities, there’s something to delight every member of the family.
This summer, enjoy relaxed evening BBQs with live music on Trebah’s private beach, a rare treat in Cornwall, while you soak up stunning views of the Helford River. Budding artists can join local artist Victoria Gillow for an art workshop, learning to paint Cornish gardens that surround you. For something a little different, Badger and Bird Studio will guide you in crafting your very own botanical eco-resin casting to take home as a unique memento.
Music lovers can head to Trebah’s beautiful open-air amphitheatre to enjoy the classical-jazz fusion of Claude Bolling, brought to life by the talented Kernow Chamber Players. The amphitheatre will also be the stage for two magical nights of Macbeth, reimagined under the stars by Duke’s Theatre Company; a must-see for Shakespeare fans.
Families with children will find plenty to keep young explorers busy. Little ones can giggle along to Jemima Puddleduck, Robin Hood, and Big Bad Wolf, plus weekly performances from the ever-popular Squashbox Theatre, known for its lively mix of puppets, stories and songs. For the adventurous, Zoolab’s animal workshops offer the chance to meet giant snails, snakes, tarantulas and a fascinating array of exotic creatures up close; a thrilling, hands-on way to learn about nature.
And for curious minds who love to learn, pick up an Insect Safari Trail from the Visitor Centre. It’s the perfect way for families to discover Trebah Garden’s hidden corners while spotting interesting insects and learning fun facts along the way.
Make this summer one to remember at Trebah Garden, Cornwall’s favourite sub-tropical paradise for families, nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
