What's On
Cornwall is bursting with local talent and our evening entertainment celebrates this, it is as varied as it is captivating.
Something that sets camping and caravanning at Trewan apart is our evening atmosphere. Throughout high season we have a selection of fantastic entertainment. From animal shows to local bands in the Long Barn, and summer fetes and BBQ’s with the nationally recognised St Dennis Brass Band on the front field. You're never short of things to do and see when staying at Trewan.
​
As we close in on the summer of 2025 you can check our calendar below to see what we have booked and when. It may not looked packed now but we will keep it updated as more of our entertainment is confirmed.
Summer Creative Series
This June and early July we are running a series of workshops in the newly renovated Roundhouse. We are partnering with some incredible and talented local artists to bring a collection of different creative sessions, all grounded in nature and our stunning surroundings. We may well continue these into the high season so watch this space for news of new sessions.

These sessions must be pre-booked by emailing us at [email protected]

Emma will be leading a workshop on the traditional art of willow weaving. All materials will have been harvested locally from near Emma's workshop in St Issey and the session will leave you with something unique and special to take home. Emma's wealth of experience means she can create anything from Baskets to Bird Houses, Sculptures to Stars, and for this 3 hour session we are planning on focussing on dragonflies!

21st of June - Sketching Superb Surroundings with Claire Parker
​
A 3-hour session of observational drawing, around the inspirational spaces offered by Trewan Hall*, will begin with some inhibition-bashing, drawing exercises, as a creative warm-up for all skill levels. Mini sketchbooks will be provided for you to fill with scenes, following advice and guidance from Clare, to create a lasting memory of your day and to give you the confidence to repeat what you’ve learned, on any future days out.
Clare has almost 30 years of teaching experience in schools and in recent years, by running workshops for locals and visitors to Cornwall, at a variety of locations. She is a practicing artist who works from her own studio in Penryn and is very much looking forward to running this workshop at Trewan Hall, an environment she has been familiar with since the late 1970’s.
Materials will be all the drawing usuals (mostly pencil and pen) which will be provided, but please feel welcome to bring any of your own favourites. There may even be an opportunity to add some mono-printing too! We will hope for good weather. Please be appropriately dressed for sitting outside. Should the weather be too challenging, Clare will provide other nature and environmental inspired resources to enable an equally enjoyable experience.
