Trereife Summer Festival of Food and Craft

Large marquees of art and craft on the tennis lawn, a selection of fine food stalls in the cobbled stable area of the house, plus a variety of carnival-style musical entertainment, visitors can expect a wide array of attractions to suit all the family.

The Fair includes craft demonstrations, a horse drawn carriage ride and a variety of children’s activities. One of the main attractions of the weekend is the carnival style musical entertainment featuring colourful samba bands, singer-songwriters and traditional dance groups where the public are given the opportunity to join in. If the weather proves temperamental, the event will be undercover.

Tim Le Grice gives tours of his historic home, featured on Channel 4’s ‘Country House Rescue’, during the course of the weekend. There’s plenty to occupy the little ones with a programme of children’s entertainment, storytelling, magic show and much more throughout the grounds. You can spend the day wandering the woods, relaxing on the lawn, or picnicking in the walled garden. Home-made refreshments available include cakes, crepes, soups, tortilla wraps and pasties, plus locally made ice-cream, fruit juice squeezed as you watch, and even a Cornish beer stall to tempt your taste buds. Remember to bring your picnic blanket, or if you prefer, take a seat in Trereife’s Courtyard Café.
