17/02/2017 - Heligan Christmas Fair

Christmas is always a magical time at The Lost Gardens....

 ....and this festive season brings with it the Heligan Christmas Fair, on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th December from 10am to 4pm.

This festive event, will give you the perfect opportunity to get into the festive spirit and soak up the stunning surroundings as well as find some truly unique Christmas gifts.

Heligan’s ethos for showcasing local businesses will be felt strongly during this time as they invite over 80 local producers, artisans, creators and makers to come and trade under a canopy of festive joy, with marquees in the coach park, picnic and ticketing areas.

Visitors are invited to browse the traders' wares to find something unique for that special person – and with well over 80 stalls, there's certainly plenty on offer including food and drink produce, crafts, jewellery, art and more.

There’s also the opportunity to buy or order your Christmas tree! Choose from a 3 foot pot grown Norway spruce all the way up to a 10ft Nordmann!

A warm welcome awaits you in the Heligan Kitchen where you can tempt your taste buds with delicious seasonal treats from the Heligan Bakery, enjoy a mulled wine and soak up the Christmas atmosphere.

Don’t forget to pop into the award winning Lobbs Farm Shop on your way back to your car, to pick up some of the best food from the countryside and why not order your Christmas turkey whilst you’re there.

Free to Heligan Annual Members, £1 Local Pass holders and £2 for everyone else – including garden entry. 

17/02/2017 - PUP SEASON AT THE CORNISH SEAL SANCTUARY

February 2017

One of the great things to do half term in Cornwall 2017 is visit one of Cornwall's leading attractions, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. Seal mating season begins around September time, this also coincides with rougher seas and storms approaching. What this means is that during this time we get a lot of seal pup call outs. The BDMLR, the RSPCA and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary rescue between 40 and 60 pups each year. As the leading Seal Rescue Centre in Europe and the only one in Cornwall we then become home to these pups while they are rehabilitated until they are ready for release. The team here provides round-the-clock care throughout the 'pup rescue season' (usually September - March) to get them back to full health so they can go back out into the wild where they should be. Our hospital and pools will be full and it's the perfect time to for a visit. The Seal Sanctuary is dog friendly attraction in Cornwall.
