HALF-TERM HALLOWEEN ADVENTURES AT LOST GARDENS OF HELIGAN 2023 TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE OCTOBER 2023 HALF-TERM IN CORNWALL. ENJOY A WILD ENCOUNTER WITH BUGS AND OTHER CREEPY FAMILY ACTIVITIES…
Something’s crawling through the undergrowth at the Lost Gardens of Heligan this Halloween. Bugs. Loads of them. Snakes too. And spiders… loads of giant spiders…
Actually, there are lots of bugs crawling through the vast undergrowth at the Lost Gardens of Heligan near St Austell but, to be honest, that’s called nature and that happens throughout the year. No, we’re talking about a wild encounter with some special creepy crawlies during the Halloween-themed October half-term 2023.
Between Saturday 21 and Sunday 29 October 2023, the attraction holds its ‘Halloween Adventures at Heligan Half-term’ 2023 experience. A big part of this is the ‘wild encounter’ in the Home Farm barn with snakes, spiders and bugs. It’s a creepy experience for some kids (and adults!) just for Halloween but it’s a fascinating one for others as they learn about these magical creatures.
Other activities over the week include craft workshops out in the reserve yard and the chance to toast a marshmallow over fire bowls out in the Heligan Play Meadow.
Plus, between Friday 27 and Sunday 29 October 2023, Heligan unveils its Carved Pumpkin Trail with creatively craved giant pumpkins to discover along the way. Families can head out during the day or at dusk. Keep your eyes peeled for the giant spiders that lurk along the trail.
Finally, there’s a Halloween fancy dress party on Thursday 26 October 2023, however it’s fully booked. But there are all sorts of fun dining options throughout the half-term 2023 in Cornwall week. Click on the ‘website’ link above and check out all the details there.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan sit in a place of natural and peaceful beauty. They stretch out over more than 200 acres with Victorian productive gardens and pleasure grounds surrounding meandering paths that were made more than two centuries ago. So this place has atmosphere to begin with. But the addition of the Halloween installations and activities makes it all the more magical.
Get on down to Heligan for October half-term 2023 week. Spiders, snakes, bugs and pumpkins. You can’t get more Halloween-y than that…
