Sunday 24 May 2026 | 10.30am – 5pm
At the beginning of the May half term, Tremenheere will host its annual spring charity day, this year in support of Man Down UK.
On Sunday 24 May, all takings from garden ticket sales, both online and in person, excluding season tickets, will be donated directly to the organisation, helping support its ongoing work with men experiencing mental health challenges across the UK.
Founded in Cornwall, Man Down UK provides informal, peer-led talking groups for men aged 18+, creating safe, non-judgmental spaces where people can speak openly, feel heard, and connect with others facing similar experiences.
Built around conversation, understanding, and mutual support, the organisation works to challenge the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and help reduce male suicide through connection and community.
Founded in Penryn in 2019, Man Down began with a single group of eight men meeting to talk openly in a safe and informal environment. Since then, the organisation has grown to more than 45 locations nationwide, with over 7,500 men attending meetings in 2025 alone.
Their groups are designed to be accessible, welcoming and judgement-free, offering support through conversation, connection and shared experience. Run entirely by volunteers, the organisation works to challenge the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and help reduce male suicide by creating spaces where people feel able to speak honestly and be heard.
Funds raised through the charity day will help cover the running costs of the organisation, including venue hire, facilitator training, refreshments for attendees, and printed outreach materials, helping ensure that meetings remain free and accessible to any man who feels able to attend.
The gardens will be open from 10.30am – 5pm, offering visitors the chance to spend time within the landscape while supporting an important cause rooted in care, openness, and community.
