TYNTESFIELD is offering a whole host of fun activities this autumn.

The historic National Trust building and grounds can be found in Wraxhall. Whether it is just down the road from you or a half hour's drive, you do not want to miss out on these events.

From September 11 to October 8, Tyntesfield is hosting a chocolate creation to celebrate the 650 year anniversary of the City of Bristol.

Inspired by items found in the medicine cabinet of Tyntesfield House, artist Luke Jerram has created five models of the bottles made from chocolate. 

On October 21, they, along with other objects telling Bristol’s history, will be smashed and distributed to foodbanks.

Running from October 21 to October 29, there will be a Halloween trail. Attendees will be tasked with finding the mysterious creature that’s been stealing pumpkins from the autumn display.

During the October half term, the pumpkin display will return.

Please note that dogs on leads are welcome everywhere except for in the Kitchen Garden and the house.

There will be no extra charges for the events, all you have to do is pay the normal admission charges.

To hire a mobility tramper, please email Tyntesfield@nationaltrust.org.uk.

Tynesfield has a rich history. The National Trust website reads: "Tyntesfield was not intended to be an extravagant statement of wealth, power or politics. Its purpose was simple: to serve as a family home.

"Originally a smaller Georgian house, Tyntesfield was transformed into a Gothic Revival masterpiece.

"Its bespoke architecture reflects the devout Anglo-Catholic beliefs of the Gibbs family. Here they invested their wealth derived from controlling the import of Peruvian ‘guano’ fertiliser.

"The garden and estate balance faded beauty and function with an abundance of nature.

"Flower-filled terraces, an empty lake, extensive woodland, champion trees and a productive kitchen garden give many opportunities for exploration. And with each season you can experience a new side to Tyntesfield."

National Trust sites throughout the region and beyond will be holding events and activities to celebrate the turning of the seasons.

Mike Beeston, garden and parks advisor at the National Trust, said: “Being in nature is one of the best ways to recharge and reenergise, that’s why the National Trust is encouraging everyone to enjoy and celebrate this special season."
