Tregothnan will open its private gates on April 26 and 27 for its annual charity open weekend.

Visitors can experience the first tea grown in England in the extraordinary Himalayan valley, surrounded by an unequalled diversity of trees, historic, botanical and rare collections, all on the banks of the beautiful river Fal.

Be prepared for a riot of floral colour, including mountainous magnolias and the tallest rhododendron in the UK (one of the biggest in the world).

The historic stable yard transforms into a fabulous food court, serving lunch, cream teas and refreshments plus entertainment. Look out for the pop-up shop selling Cornish-grown tea.

Open from 10am to 5pm, last entry 4pm. Dogs on leads. Under 18s go free. Access queries welcome. For further details, visit https://tregothnan.co.uk/collections/charity-garden-tickets
