Summer at Trewan Hall is all about atmosphere—warm evenings filled with live music, laughter, and local flavour, and daytime adventures that invite you to slow down and connect.
From family-friendly animal shows and lively fetes to performances by the celebrated St Dennis Brass Band, our 2025 summer calendar promises a rich mix of events that highlight the incredible talent Cornwall has to offer.
But there’s more to Trewan than just evenings under fairy lights. This year, we’re excited to introduce our Summer Series of Creative Workshops—a collection of immersive, nature-inspired sessions led by skilled local artists and makers. Whether you’re sketching the estate, weaving willow dragonflies, or experimenting with sun-powered printing, these experiences are a chance to get hands-on, learn something new, and take a little piece of Cornwall home with you.
Explore our current line-up below, and be sure to check back—our events calendar is growing all the time!
Wellness Trail and Creative Connections with Helen Perrot
Join Helen from Acorns to Oaks for a wellness walk through the estate’s natural features. Through moments of mindfulness, reflection, and connection, you’ll experience the grounds in a fresh and calming way. After the trail, you’ll return to the Roundhouse to take part in a hands-on creative workshop, crafting traditional Cornish labyrinth sculptures.
This workshop is gently led by Helen’s intuitive facilitation style, with flexibility to follow the energy and interests of the group.
