Explore 55 acres of Cornish woodland gardens, enjoy tea on the terrace and support a worthy charity!
Sunday 12th April 2026 from 11am to 5pm in aid of Cornwall Community Foundation (CCF)
Make memories with the whole family as you explore Pentillie’s private gardens in Cornwall at their spring best. Stroll through historic Repton designed gardens, spot familiar views from BBC One’s Beyond Paradise, and admire sweeping views over the Tamar Valley.
This charity garden open day is set to be a wonderful day out with the family, complete with lawn games, refreshments in the Castle, peaceful pathways and plant inspiration for garden lovers.
