About Trevassack Lake

Trevassack Lake offers award-winning accessible holidays and weddings on a stunning 10-acre Cornish lakeside. Our Gold-rated venue features inclusive accommodations, and watersports for all abilities.

Nestled in the heart of Cornwall's magical Lizard Peninsula, Trevassack Lake offers a truly extraordinary wedding venue where natural beauty meets unparalleled accessibility. Our stunning 10-acre lake, formed within a historic serpentine quarry, creates a breath-taking backdrop for your special day, combining the rugged charm of Cornwall with elegant, inclusive facilities designed to make every moment magical.

Trevassack Lake is more than just a venue – it's a wedding experience unlike any other. Here, you'll find a perfect blend of natural splendour and thoughtful design that transforms your celebration from a single day into a memorable weekend retreat for you and your closest loved ones.

Your journey together deserves a beginning as special as your relationship. At Trevassack Lake, we offer multiple distinctive ceremony settings:

- Lakeside Ceremonies: Exchange vows with the gentle sounds of the lake as your soundtrack and the beauty of nature as your backdrop, ideal for ceremonies of up to 48 seated guests.
- Waterside Venue: Our purpose-built waterfront venue offers an elegant indoor space with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that open onto the waterfront decking, creating a seamless connection with the stunning surroundings.
- Floaty Experience: For a truly unique and unforgettable wedding, our electric, wheelchair-accessible watercraft 'Floaty' offers a one-of-a-kind ceremony option. Imagine exchanging vows while floating on the tranquil waters, creating extraordinary photo opportunities that capture the distinctive character of your wedding day.

A Wedding Weekend, Not Just a Day
With exclusive venue hire from 3pm the day before until 10am after your wedding, Trevassack Lake allows you to create a complete wedding weekend experience:

- Day Before: Welcome your guests as they arrive and check into on-site accommodation, enjoy relaxed drinks at our lakeside beach shack, and host a casual pre-wedding BBQ with close family and friends.
Wedding Day: From bridal party preparations in our spacious holiday homes to your ceremony, reception, and evening celebration – every moment unfolds in our stunning lakeside setting.
- Day After: Continue the celebration with a refreshing morning swim for the adventurous, a full Cornish breakfast buffet, and relaxed farewells as you share memories of your perfect weekend.

Exceptional On-Site Accommodation
One of the unique advantages of Trevassack Lake as a wedding venue is our exceptional on-site accommodation for up to 35 guests:

- Holiday Homes: Our three spacious holiday homes (Bradbury House, Clare Milne House, and Lizard House) each sleep 6-8 people in 3 bedrooms, featuring private hot tubs and fully equipped kitchens.
- Quirky Cabin Cottages: Our three unique cabin-style holiday cottages (Serpentine, Quartz, and Calcite) each sleep 5 people in 2 bedrooms, offering private hot tubs and charming retreats for your guests.

Having your closest family and friends stay right where the celebration happens creates a truly immersive wedding weekend, with precious moments extending far beyond the ceremony itself.

Your reception can unfold across our various stunning spaces:

- Waterfront Venue: Our purpose-built venue offers a versatile and elegant space for your wedding breakfast and evening celebration, with large glass doors that open onto a spacious decking area overlooking the lake.
- Waterfront Decking: Extending from our venue room, our spacious decking area provides the perfect spot for drinks receptions, with uninterrupted views across the sparkling waters.
- The Beach: Our charming beach area provides a relaxed setting for welcome drinks, outdoor games, or a festival-style gathering with live music from our beach shack.
