Autumn has to be my favourite time of year to explore the outdoors. With the leaves starting to fall, beautiful autumn colours and a slight chill in the air, it’s a wonderful time to stroll around the gardens and estate at Cotehele. There’s loads of things happening inside and out in October. Join us on 20-21 Oct as we celebrate Tamar Valley local food and crafts with our first ever Autumn Market. Get spooked at our Halloween events between 20-28 Oct at Cotehele Mill, or explore the house in the dark at our annual Fright Night on 27 Oct. October half-term is also your last chance to see Cotehele Mill before it closes for winter from 28 Oct. Heading into November, our annual Christmas garland returns – this year we’re commemorating the centenary of the end of the First World War with a special artwork by Dominique Coiffait, inspired by the ebb and flow of life in Cotehele, complementing our traditional 60ft cut flower garland. See the garland being built from 29 Oct – 9 Nov, or admire its beauty once it’s finished from 10 Nov – 6 Jan.
