Building Trelissick: from farmhouse to riverside estate

Following the popularity of the Honor Budden exhibition Building Trelissick will now start on the later date of 30 April. Trelissick has evolved from a modest farmhouse into a distinguished riverside estate, shaped by the families who lived and worked here. In a new exhibition in the West Library we explore the story of Trelissick house through the evolution of the building’s architecture. This is a free exhibition, admission to Trelissick applies.

More about Carnon Downs

Cornwall, England

Carnon Downs sits right on the coast in Cornwall where the sea air does more for your mood than a cup of tea ever could. With no big venues to shout about, the local scene relies on community groups putting on markets and neighbours organising garden parties that smell of salt and fresh bread. It is a place where you might find a pop-up art stall or a small gathering in someone's driveway without needing a ticket or an app. Near Here keeps track of these little moments so you can plan your afternoon by the beach rather than staring at a screen all day.
