As the autumn light fades and the gardens slip into their winter rhythm, this is a time for reflection, stillness, and quiet awe. November brings the final days to explore the gardens before their winter rest, alongside exhibitions, community moments and the gentle start of the festive season.
Until 9 November: Last days to visit the gardens & Locals’ Offer
Tremenheere Gardens will close for their annual winter break after Sunday 9 November, reopening in spring 2026. Until then, local visitors can still enjoy the full landscape, sculpture, and subtropical planting, often at their most atmospheric under low autumn light.
Our Locals’ Offer runs until closing day: Cornwall residents enjoy discount off garden entry (just show proof of address at the ticket desk).
It’s a perfect moment to take a final wander, see how the planting shifts with the season, and enjoy the quieter pathways before the gardens rest.
13 – 24 November: FOREST by Terra Mater Art
Opening mid-month in the Tremenheere Gallery, Terra Mater Art presents “FOREST”, a new exhibition exploring woodland as muse, metaphor and material.
Works draw on the textures, light and layered ecosystems of the forest, echoing the interplay of wildness and curation that defines Tremenheere itself.
22 November: Ladydowns Christmas trees arrive
The first Christmas trees arrive on site on 22 November, transforming the atmosphere and marking the shift from autumn’s quiet to the start of the festive season. The trees create a joyful experience for visitors collecting pre-orders or joining events in the coming weeks.
29 – 30 November: Wishlist 2025
As November closes, the Wishlist event fills the Gallery for its fourth year showcasing original art & prints, jewellery, ceramics, handmade clothes, books, food, produce and much more.
It’s the perfect way to support makers, find something special and experience the festive spirit of Tremenheere.
5 & 11 December: Wreath Making Workshops at Tremenheere Kitchen
Get hands-on and creative this December with festive wreath-making sessions in the Gallery space. On 5 December (9.30 – 12.30), Ruby Alice Design will guide you in creating a beautifully natural wreath using locally sourced foliage and seasonal textures. Then, on 11 December (9.30 – midday), Twigs & Greens hosts a relaxed morning of wreath-making, accompanied by a glass of Bucks Fizz to kick off the festive season.
Both workshops include all materials and expert guidance, with refreshments available from Tremenheere Kitchen, and spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
19 December: Boilerhouse & Annamaria Murphy: Carols & Stories
In December, we gather again for a warm evening of song and story: Boilerhouse & Annamaria Murphy present an evening of seasonal songs, stories and Cornish carols on 19 December.
Expect an intimate, atmospheric night that celebrates community, creativity and the turning of the year.
The season of Nothing at All → Awe
As the gardens rest, the themes of our 2025/6 programme come into focus. “Nothing at All” is an invitation to pause, to stand still, to let the landscape be what it is. And in that stillness, Awe naturally arises.
Whether you visit before we close, join an exhibition, or return in spring, we invite you to experience Tremenheere as a place of transformation, subtle, sensory and ever-changing.
