Carwinion was delighted to host a private view reception for Falmouth’s John Dyer Gallery. The event was a great success and was one of the highlights of the Cornwall's arts calender for 2010.

Well known for their lively and colourful artwork, John Dyer and Joanne Short presented a stunning collection of paintings by artists exploring all of the aspects of Cornwall that inspire them. Fishing villages and picnics on the cliffs, crazy dogs and fishermen, wild flowers and the joy of the Cornish landscape.

In its tenth year in 2009, this fabulous event raised money for the MS Society. The day was a real treat for all ages, with Carwinion’s gorgeous gardens to explore, plenty of gardening and some family fun thrown in.

People donated the most marvellous plants including donations from local nurseries.

There were exotics, rarities and curiosities and we also laid on a cake stall, raffle and refreshments.

Cornwall’s Miracle Theatre celebrated its 30th anniversary with an updated adaptation of Tartuffe, Molière’s sharpest comedy.

This masterclass in hypocrisy, as fresh and provoking as when it was banned in 1664, was perfectly suited to Miracle’s high energy outdoor performance style.

Guests enjoyed the show in Carwinion’s beautiful grounds and soaked up the sun with a picnic before cosying up with blankets after dark. We supplied plenty of hot drinks, cakes and biscuits.
