- Admission applies
On 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22 December join Father Christmas for a relaxed storytelling session in the stable yard at 4.15pm.
This is an accessible session aimed at providing Trelissick’s ‘An Audience with Father Christmas’ with a more relaxed and calmer Father Christmas experience. With reduced noise levels and crowds, we hope to create a less stressful environment with Father Christmas.
The festive story of a Cornish Christmas at Trelissick will last approximately 20-30 minutes with time at the end to receive a small gift from Father Christmas.
A limited number of ear defenders and sensory toys will be available for use in the quiet sessions on the day and an access statement is available from our website.

All adults attending An Audience with Father Christmas are required to have an adult ticket.
Please note that normal admission charges to Trelissick apply, with free admission to National Trust members, and that assistance dogs only are able to attend. We are unable to process refunds.
