National Meadows Day with the National Trust

In celebration of National Meadow’s Day, join us for a printmaking workshop at Pentire, nr. Polzeath. Led by local artist, Alicia Breakspear, the workshop will include time spent gaining inspiration outside, enjoying the natural beauty of the headland, before returning to the main visitor hub to explore the art of monoprinting.

Sat 5 July – 10am-4pm

Booking essential. Price per person: £65

On the meadow at Cotehele Mill on Saturday 5 July join National Trust rangers for talks about the meadow management at the mill and across the wider estate. The team from Tamar Landscape Partnership will also be on the meadow doing kick sampling and invertebrate identifying in the Morden stream which you can join in with – bring your wellies!

There will also be the chance to become a Nature Detective and a meadow-wide scavenger hunt you can take part in – as well as taking home some wildflower seeds. 5 July, 11am-3pm, no booking required.

We’re hosting a family-friendly event to celebrate National Meadows Day 10am – 2pm at Botallack where you can find out more about the thriving wildflower meadows and our ongoing project to challenge biodiversity loss and climate change through the Cornish Coastal Meadows Project. You can find out more about it here Cornish Coastal Meadows Project | National Trust

To help us celebrate the success of the project, you can join us on a mini bug ID hunt and get hands on harvesting your own yellow rattle seed. There will also be packets of seed mix for everyone to take away to create a mini meadow area to help nature flourish at home.

Come and meet our Coastal Meadows Project team at Lanhydrock and find out about this county wide project to combat biodiversity loss, from 12pm-3pm near the main house.

There will be spotters sheets available for you to explore the meadow in front of the house, exclusive meadow stickers and make a seed packet to take some wildflower seed home with you!
