Explore the enchanting lantern festival at Heligan Night Garden

Every year, the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall puts on a spectacular Christmas Light Show. If you're looking for something fun to do with your family this holiday season, come and discover the magic of the Lost Gardens of Heligan lit for winter.

Enchanting and magical, the evening is a wonderful way to get into the Christmas spirit. With discounts for locals and pass holders, this is a magical evening for all the family.

 This incredible light show features over 100,000 LED lights that transform the gardens into a magical wonderland. Wander through the garden light trail and discover beautiful handmade lanterns of woodland creatures like hedgehogs, squirrels and foxes. This is a truly unique way to celebrate the flora and fauna of this beautiful Cornish garden.

And what could be more festive than enjoying a light show while toasting marshmallows over fire pits? You can also enjoy hot chocolate, mince pies and sausage rolls while admiring the light trail. And if you're still hungry, there's always the option of a pulled pork bap with hot apple sauce under the fairy lights. The light show is set against the magical woodland oak and beech trees, making it the perfect Christmas experience.

 This year we've got more surprises than ever, with our Home Farm residents brought to life, a glittering pond and a magical tractor. Plus, see our iconic Mud Maid and Scarecrow Diggeroy lit up like never before. As always, our Heligan Elves will be on hand to guide you through the Night Garden and make sure you don't miss a thing.

Heligan Night Garden is the perfect Christmas Light Trail for eveyone. With a unique and enchanting experience, you'll be able to celebrate the festive season and connect with nature. So, if you want to find a festive night out which captures the imagination and showcases the magic of winter then look no further. And don’t forget, under 5s go free.
