Although our gardens have now closed for their annual winter break, there’s still plenty happening at Tremenheere over the coming weeks. From thought-provoking exhibitions and festive markets to Christmas trees, seasonal music and delicious food, we have lots to look forward to as the festive season gets underway.
Whether you’re looking for a little Christmas inspiration, searching for unique gifts or simply hoping to enjoy some seasonal cheer, we look forward to welcoming you to Tremenheere this winter.
[M]OTHER: An Exhibition by Maggie O’Brien
We are delighted to welcome a new exhibition to Tremenheere Gallery this November. [M]OTHER, by artist Maggie O’Brien, brings together an intimate and deeply personal collection of paintings and poetry exploring motherhood, love, grief and the complexities of the human experience.
Created between 2017 and 2022, this body of work is being shown for the first time, offering visitors an opportunity to experience a moving and personal side of Maggie’s artistic practice.
Alongside the exhibition, there will be a series of special events, including a poetry reading with Maggie and an opportunity to hear more about the work through a conversation with the artist and curators on 14 November, 12.30 – 2.
The exhibition runs until 25 November, with the Gallery open Tuesday – Saturday, 11 – 4.

A lovely opportunity to come together, enjoy some music and embrace the spirit of the season.
Celebrate the Season at Tremenheere Kitchen
There’s plenty of festive cheer to enjoy at Tremenheere Kitchen, too! Gather your friends, family or colleagues and indulge in a delicious seasonal menu, available every lunchtime (except Sundays), as well as on selected special evenings throughout December.
For something extra special, join one of the Christmas Party Nights on 11, 12, 18 or 19 December. Both Saturdays will feature live music from Pete Hamilton, with acoustic guitar during your meal followed by an after-dinner DJ set to keep the celebrations going.
It’s the perfect excuse to get together, enjoy some delicious food and celebrate the festive season.
There’s Still Plenty to Enjoy at Tremenheere This Winter
While our gardens take their winter break until they reopen on 13 February, the rest of Tremenheere will continue to welcome visitors throughout the season. The Shop, Kitchen and Nursery will all remain open, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy a little Tremenheere magic over the winter months.
Whether you’re discovering a new exhibition, finding the perfect Christmas tree, browsing the festive market or enjoying an evening of seasonal music, we hope you’ll join us for some of the celebrations.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tremenheere and wish you a wonderful festive season!
