Visitors to Trereife House can see work by some of the country's top designers this weekend as the Cornwall Design Fair returns for its fourth year.
About 80 designers from Cornwall and around the country are displaying their wares at the fair, which began today and runs until Sunday.
Exhibitors setting up stalll in the grounds of the historic house, near Penzance, range from jewellers to furniture makers.
As well as the exhibition stands the fair includes workshops, demonstrations and live music.
The popular Curated Exhibition inside the house has also returned again this year. This sees designers choose one of Trereife's rooms and then curate an exhibition of contemporary pieces to complement the historic decor.
Pete Le Grice, manager of the house and gardens, said the event was bigger than ever and they expected about 4,000 people to visit over the weekend. "It's a showcase for designers from Cornwall and all over the country," he said."It's the variety of the styles which makes it kind of special."
He added that the event also helps to show off the house and grounds, which appeared on the Channel Four programme Country House Rescue last year.
The predominantly Queen Anne manor house dates in parts back to Elizabeth I and is being restored by the Le Grice family.
Mr Le Grice said: "It's a good setting with the juxtaposition between the old and new; contemporary designs and old, stately rooms."
Cornwall Design Fair continues tomorrow and on Sunday, tickets are £6 including free entry to Trereife House.
