Got to experience – The Lost Gardens of Heligan

The Lost Gardens of Heligan

The Lost Gardens of Heligan were rediscovered from the brambles of time by Tim Smit and John Willis, who were the catalysts for a 30-year project that continues to this day. Heligan remains one of the most loved and romantic gardens in the UK, appreciated as much for its beauty and mystery as for the groundbreaking restoration project.

Wildlife legend Steve Backshall will be taking up residence at The Lost Gardens of Heligan this summer for Wild Heligan, a celebration of the incredible wildlife and plants that surround us. Steve Backshall’s Wild Heligan will see Steve take to the Heligan Play Meadow stage on selected days during the event (which takes place from July 18th to September 2nd) alongside an incredible selection of other celebrity nature experts. From August 24th, Steve will hand the reins to TV presenter and explainer extraordinaire Maddie Moate who will share her passion for pollinators as she brings a fun and engaging live show about her beekeeping adventures to the Heligan audience.

During the Wild Heligan season, visitors will be able to submit video and images of the wildlife they’ve spotted during their visit. Steve will show the best on stage alongside footage from his extensive adventure archive, illustrating that domestic wildlife is just as exciting as its more exotic equivalent.
