Packed full of idyllic seaside escapes, rugged wilderness, and bursting with enchanting myth and history; Cornwall is a stunning place to visit. Based at our farm on the North Coast of Cornwall, here at St. Eval we feel so lucky to call this county our home, and to be surrounded daily by the breath-taking magic of Cornwall's wild beauty. In this week's blog we're exploring our favourite spots to visit in West Cornwall.

Welcoming you into the incredible world of Hospital Rooms, we were thrilled to interview the wonderful Anna Testar, one of Hospital Rooms’ Senior Project Curators. Working collaboratively on the Cove Ward with patients, staff and artist Ben Sanderson, Anna unveils the passion behind each project, the importance of making the magic happen and how art can be a vehicle for social change.

This month, our St. Eval team were warmly welcomed by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust to explore Woodland Valley Farm, near Ladock. Experiencing this vast abundance of nature firsthand, we were honoured to observe the beavers craftmanship, bonding as a team through our shared determination to spot a beaver in action.

Here at St. Eval we feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by the wild and untamed beauty of the Cornish coast and countryside, a land brimming with natural beauty and captivating history.

In the second instalment of this blog series we're taking you on a whistle-stop tour of South Cornwall and all of the wonderful sights it holds.

Cornwall has long been a popular destination for free spirits and holiday makers alike, luring people in with its quirky traditions and picturesque scenery. We love sharing our passion for the county, and in this newest blog series we'll be sharing some of the popular spots and hidden gems to be found in our wonderful county.

Here at St. Eval we are constantly finding inspiration in the beauty of the natural world as we curate our range of over thirty fragrances and conjure new and exciting scents. Reminiscent of balmy evenings and days spent in the sunshine, our Lemon & Thyme fragrance combines zesty and herbal notes to transport you to your favourite summer scenes.

Invited to explore The Tate at St. Ives, we were delighted to indulge our creative souls at the heart of Cornish art. Taking part in two creative workshops led by local artist Ben Sanderson, we were thrilled to reunite with the Cove Ward’s patients and staff, and to engage with community members directly affected by Cornwall’s mental health services.

Last week, we were invited to Camborne and Redruth Community Hospital in Cornwall to take part in a wonderful creative workshop. Led by Cornish based and Hospital Rooms artist Ben Sanderson, we took a deep dive into the world of paper making alongside patients and staff from the ward.
