Summer is the perfect time to slow down, get outside and enjoy a little adventure together, and there’s plenty to discover at Tremenheere.
Set amongst beautiful subtropical gardens, the Sculpture Gardens offer a wonderful day out for families, with winding paths to explore, fascinating plants to discover and an ever-changing collection of sculptures waiting to be found.
And who better to show you around than a six-year-old?
A Six-Year-Old’s Guide to Tremenheere’s Sculptures
If you haven’t seen our recent video, A Six-Year-Old’s Guide to Tremenheere’s Sculptures by Karl Davies, now is the perfect time to head over to our Facebook and watch Part 1 (here).
With a child’s wonderfully honest and imaginative perspective, the video is a reminder that there’s no single way to experience art. Sculptures that might make grown-ups stop and think can inspire completely different ideas in younger visitors, and sometimes the best way to explore is simply to be curious and see what catches your eye.
A little extra adventure for younger visitors
We want our younger visitors to enjoy exploring Tremenheere too, which is why we have a complimentary children’s activity map available from the Ticket Shed.
Pick one up on your way in and let it help guide your adventure through the gardens. It’s a great way to encourage children to look a little closer, spot things along the way and make their own discoveries as they explore.
And the fun doesn’t have to end when you reach the exit…
On your way out, children can collect sunflower seeds provided by The Great Gardens of Cornwall to take home and grow. It’s a lovely little reminder of a day spent exploring the gardens, and perhaps the beginning of a new garden adventure of their own!
Make a day of it
Tremenheere is a place to wander at your own pace. Follow the paths through the gardens, look out for sculptures along the way and take time to enjoy the planting, views and peaceful surroundings.
For families, the Sculpture Gardens can turn a visit into an adventure. Who can spot the next sculpture? What does it remind you of? Which one is your favourite? With so much to look at, children can explore, ask questions and make their own discoveries as they go.
Don’t forget to refuel
After exploring, make time for something delicious at Tremenheere Kitchen. Whether you’re stopping for a refreshing drink, enjoying a bite to eat or treating yourselves after your adventure, it’s a chance to sit back and make the most of your day.
For families, that combination of outdoor exploring, art, gardens and good food makes Tremenheere an easy choice for a summer day out.
Discounted entry this summer
Don’t forget, we’re taking part in the Great British Summer Savings Scheme, offering visitors discounted entry on garden tickets (excluding Season Tickets).
It’s a great way to make your summer adventures go a little further, with savings designed to help families enjoy more of the wonderful attractions and experiences Britain has to offer.
So, whether you’re looking for a spontaneous day out or planning a whole summer of adventures, make Tremenheere one of your stops.
Come and explore the gardens, follow the children’s activity map, discover the sculptures, enjoy something tasty at Tremenheere Kitchen, find treasures at The Shop and Surreal Succulents Nursery, and perhaps take home a few sunflower seeds to continue the adventure at home.
