Trebah at Christmas 2026: Santa Storytelling and Trail

2026-10-11·Falmouth

Short answer: Trebah's Garden of Light isn't running in 2026. Instead, Trebah has a Jolly Joke trail from 21 November to 6 December, and Storytelling with Santa on 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20 December, priced at £23.50 for adults, £16.75 for children and £8 for under-5s.

If you're searching for Trebah's Garden of Light, the short version is that it's having a year off. Trebah is still doing Christmas, though, in daylight and on a smaller scale.

Is Trebah Garden of Light on in 2026?

No. The evening light trail isn't running this year. For a lit-up garden after dark, the alternatives are Heligan's Night Garden and the Enys Lantern Trail, which is the nearest to Trebah. All of them are compared in Christmas light trails in Cornwall 2026.

Storytelling with Santa at Trebah

It's a story session rather than a queue-and-photo grotto, which suits younger children who'd rather sit and listen. Book ahead; the weekends before Christmas fill first.

The Jolly Joke trail

21 November to 6 December. A daytime family trail through the garden: an easy way to get children down the valley to the beach at the bottom.

Can you take dogs to Trebah?

Trebah is one of Cornwall's dog-friendly gardens; see dogs at Trebah.
