Penryn Campus gardens and grounds have been recognised by the international Green Flag Award Scheme as among the very best in the world, for the fourth year in a row.

Tonight, Penryn Campus will celebrate by illuminating Tremough House in green.

Oliver Lane, FX Plus Director of Residences and Facilities, whose Grounds Team maintain Penryn Campus, said:

"We're delighted to have retained our Green Flag and are excited to be joining many famous venues around the country 'going green.

"Winning the Green Flag this year is set against the background of the Coronavirus pandemic, which has made it even harder for our Grounds Team to work and ensure the campus remains beautiful, sustainable and safe. A big thanks to the team – headed by Toby Nenning."

Now into its third decade, the award is a sign the space boasts the highest possible environmental standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent visitor facilities.

Keep Britain Tidy Chief Executive, Allison Ogden-Newton OBE, added:

"It is testament to the incredible dedication and hard work of staff and volunteers that, despite the challenges that went along with record numbers of visitors, Penryn Campus has achieved the highest international standards demanded by the Green Flag Award."
