Father Christmas returns 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 7, 8, 14 and 15 December and then daily between 19 and 23 December. Storytelling starts promptly at 10.15am, 11am, 11.45am, 12.30pm, 2pm, 2.45pm and 3.30pm. On 19, 20 and 23 December there will also be storytelling sessions at 4.15pm.

Trelissick is open 10am-4.30pm during December, if you book an afternoon session you may want to arrive earlier to enjoy the full range of 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 through the garden and carol singing in the stable yard on select dates.

An audience with Father Christmas is always incredibly popular and pre-booking is essential. We cannot guarantee admission after a storytelling session has started – please allow plenty of time to get to Trelissick and check in with your ticket to avoid disappointment.

All adults attending An Audience with Father Christmas are required to have an adult ticket.

Please take note that normal admission charges to Trelissick apply, with free admission to National Trust members, and that assistance dogs only are able to attend. We are unable to process refunds.
