Adventures with Rick

Journey through the magical garden trail, exploring woodlands and gardens beautifully lit with installations and lanterns. Discover breath-taking displays of fauna and flora as we celebrate the characters of our community, all illuminated within Heligan’s much-loved and iconic locations.
Our night time route will include fresh installations as we once again be work with The Lantern Company. A leading UK outdoor arts organisation, they bring artists and communities together to create spectacular events.
The Lantern Company’s illuminated installations at Heligan holds up a nocturnal magnifying glass to the often-overlooked wonders and beauty of nature on our doorstep. From badgers to fungi, bees to butterflies, and a joyful family of cheeky Tamworth pigs, this illuminated seasonal trail creates a treasure-filled space for families and friends to discover these beautiful indigenous species.
Following an extended 1-mile one-way journey around our accessible Gardens, the Heligan team will direct you to discover nature in a celebration of the wildlife that make Heligan their home all year round. Explore at your own pace, stop to take in the smells, toast marshmallows by our stunning fire bowls, experience our glittering oak trees, and enjoy seasonal warming take away refreshments and meals amid a truly festive backdrop for your Winter’s evening.The route will take 1 hour approximately to complete, depending on how fast you move or how long you dwell!
The Heligan Night Garden is an outdoor experience and so we suggest sturdy footwear, torches, and appropriate dress for the Cornish weather.
The price of the ticket is £20.50 , You will need to go on The Lost garden of Heligan website to get your ticket and get one for 6.45pm. We will meet up by the toilet before the entrance to the garden. If anyone is interested we can go into Mevagissey for a meal or drinks.

Last year's Christmas Party was such a hit with all those who attended, that it's been booked to be held at the Falmouth Hotel again this year. So if you were unlucky enough to have missed out on it last year, there will be another opportunity to enjoy it this year.

The venue is really lovely, the menu is fabulous - catering for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans alike, and the food, as agreed by all, is just devine.

The menu can be found in the photos section below and £46.00 covers dinner and live music. (The Falmouth hotel are happy to cater for specific dietary requirements if known of in advance. Please let Rick know when you advise him of your choices).

Dinner will be served at 7.30pm with the bar open earlier for those who would like to meet beforehand.
Music and the bar will finish at Midnight.
