Step back into the Georgian era as Trelissick house once again becomes home to Ralph Allen Daniell. His family's huge successes in the Cornish mining industry during the 18th Century led him to purchase and renovate Trelissick in 1813.  

Imagine yourself in the brightly polished boots of Ralph Allen Daniell as you explore Georgian Trelissick house. Discover the eccentricities of the the Georgian elite, build your own estate and marvel at the lavish display of Spode china laid out for an indulgent dessert.  

Our key centrepieces include a charming automata machine depicting the working life of Ralph Allen Daniell. Pull its levers and handles to bring the machine’s characters and stories to life. Another is a magnificent hooped dress, shimmering with gold and beautiful to behold. 

Trelissick as we see it today is largely down to the vision and investment of the Daniell family. This exhibition provides context for this development in an interactive and engaging way. Immerse yourself in his opulent lifestyle and treat yourself.
