The Trefusis Estate is kindly throwing open its gates on Saturday 18th May from 10.30am - 4pm to help raise vital funds for Cornwall Heritage Trust.
New for 2024, this is an Open Garden with a difference offering visitors the chance to take a look behind the gates of a working estate which puts environmental sustainability at the heart of everything it does. The estate includes informal gardens, beautiful woods, lovely views, and the community-owned market garden, Soul Farm.
A variety of traditional and heritage craftspeople will also be demonstrating their work throughout the day. These include printmaker Lou Tonkin, who is our current artist in residence; artist and blacksmith Lisa Wisdom; woodturner Jamie Lovekin; basketmaker Lin Lovekin; and pole lathe woodturner Joseph Huggett.
Free guided walks exploring the estate’s sustainable woodland management and coppicing will be available at 11.30am and 2pm. These can be signed up to on the day and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Exploring the estate involves uneven ground, slopes and some steps.
Cakes and refreshments will be available, and we recommend bringing a picnic blanket or camping chairs as there is no outdoor seating at the estate.
Compostable toilets with access via steps will be available for visitors to use on the day.
Ticket prices are £6 if pre-booked online and £7.50 on the door. Under 12s go free and do not require booking. Online booking will close at 12noon on the Friday before the event.

There’s something for all the family, including a fun-filled trail to keep the little ones busy during your visit. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
Last entry will be one hour before closing time.

Cornwall Heritage Trust’s Open Gardens 2024 is sponsored by Coodes Solicitors. All proceeds go to Cornwall Heritage Trust.
