We're proud to sponsor the St Ives September Festival

Tregenna Castle Hotel is once again sponsoring the St Ives September Festival. The popular arts festival is to take place from 10^th to 24^th September and will feature art, music, film, drama, literature, comedy and dance events running throughout the fortnight.

This year’s big musical attractions include performances by Seth Lakeman, Adrian Edmondson with his band the Bad Shepherds and Barbara Dickson with Sean Taylor.

Sheila Barker, General Manager of Tregenna Castle Hotel, is happy to support the event for another year:

“Tregenna Castle Hotel is pleased to support the St Ives September Festival because it is such an important fixture on the town’s calendar. Locals and visitors alike love this celebration of the arts and it remains a real favourite for all. As one of the town’s largest employers, it is especially important for Tregenna to support this community event.”

Festival Committee member Allen Greenall is delighted that Tregenna is once again sponsoring the festival.

“The festival is growing every year and relies on support from local businesses like Tregenna Castle Hotel to make it bigger and better. There is an enormous range of events throughout the fortnight and we’re expecting a record number of visitors this year.”

The opening day will see a carnival style atmosphere throughout the coastal town as dancers, musicians, shanty singers and entertainers perform in the pubs and streets.

There will also be a record breaking attempt in St Ives bay. Two years ago the bay saw the largest collection of luggers since the First World War and the record could well be broken this year.

In addition to performances, the festival features a vast variety of interesting events over the fortnight such as workshops, open studios, exhibitions, walks and talks.

The whole events listing can be found at www.stivesseptemberfestival.co.uk and there are still tickets available.

For more information on the accommodation available at Tregenna Castle Hotel throughout the festival please contact us.

Jazz Celebration for Cool Dads This Fathers' Day!

Tregenna Castle Hotel is treating fathers to lunchtime jazz during its three-course carvery lunch this Fathers’ Day. On Sunday 19th June, families can celebrate their dads by inviting them to Tregenna for lunch and enjoying some cool jazz as an accompaniment.

Father’s Day is a great reason to spend some quality family time together at Tregenna. The jazz always creates a laidback atmosphere over Sunday lunch which is great for all ages. Why not make a day of it and share a round of golf with your dad on our challenging course or have a day enjoying our pool, sauna and Jacuzzi? With views that stretch out across the St Ives Bay, our golf course is one of the most scenic in the country.

Lunch is served from 12.30 pm – 2 pm and costs £16.95 per head for adults and £7.50 for children aged 5 – 12.

Free Falconry Display Takes Flight

A free falconry display will take place in the stunning grounds of Tregenna Castle Hotel on Wednesday 1st June.

From 6 – 7.30pm, owls, falcons and hawks will show off their breathtaking flight skills around the beautiful estate in St Ives. They will demonstrate the differences between their free flying abilities before a static display then allows visitors to get close to these magnificent birds of prey.

Julian Clement of Countryside Hawking enjoys giving the demonstrations at Tregenna Castle:

“Tregenna offers a very private location so visitors can actually put the glove on and have the birds fly to them. It’s a great experience that everyone can enjoy.”

Tregenna’s 72 acre estate provides a huge variety of woodland walks that are free to enjoy and include the ravine walk recently featured on Inside Out as well as sub tropical gardens.

The hotel’s General Manager, Sheila Barker, encourages the general public to visit:

“To see the birds of prey soar effortlessly above this beautiful estate with its coastal backdrop is timeless. The castle is historic and the nature trail itself was originally created in the 1920s and has recently been restored. The falconry displays really add to the estate’s sense of history and beauty.”

Entry to the falconry displays is free and there are another six sessions planned during July and August.

Tregenna’s hotel facilities are available for non-residents as well as guests throughout the year. This includes the Brasserie where a well earned hot chocolate makes for a perfect treat after the falconry displays.
