Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens

The very favoured microclimate of kindly winter temperatures and shelter from the wind allow exotic and half - hardy plants to flourish. The planting schemes are appropriate to the varying individual habitats but carry a unifying theme of sculptural forms, textures and colours, complementing what nature has already provided.

The plants create a restful verdancy whilst having their own drama through form and foliage - in particular through the notable collection of palm trees, tree ferns, succulents and bamboos.

Dramatic landscape and planting provide the backdrop to contemplative but inspirational artworks. Internationally renowned artists such as James Turrell, David Nash, Richard Long, Tim Shaw and currently Peter Randall-Page (on temporary loan) have interacted with the setting to create site-specific permanent work, which harmonise with the landscape.

The recently opened gallery marks an important addition to the arts scene in Penzance and Cornwall generally. The intention is to have an evolving programme of curated shows from local, national and international artists. Visit our website for details of forthcoming exhibitions.
