New wildlife-inspired lanterns have been installed to add extra magic to this year's Heligan Night Garden.

The award-winning event will return on November 15, 2024.

Among the new installations added is a family of foxes, which will add to the illuminations.

The after-dark winter spectacular will also see one area along the trail transformed into a vibrant moving masterpiece, highlighting natural energy flows.

Augmented art specialists Squidsoup, who created last year's immersive art installation, will make a return with two new additions to the Heligan experience.

Visitors will have the chance to experience the garden's mysterious setting under the cover of darkness.

The atmospheric trail, featuring glittering tunnels of light and jewel-lit trees, will provide a feast for the senses.

Visitors can toast marshmallows over the fire pit and warm up with a selection of winter treats.

Friendly donkeys at the Heligan Home Farm will add to the winter charm.

Laura Chesterfield, head of garden experience at Heligan, said: "Every year we add new sparkle and excitement to our Night Garden.

"Whether a visit is an annual tradition or you’re experiencing Heligan after-dark for the first time, everyone from curious little ones to couples and groups of friends will enjoy the magic of our nighttime wonderland.

"Inspired by and working with the natural flora and fauna of our historic estate, the Night Garden bathes Heligan in a winter glow that’s not to be missed."

The Heligan Night Garden will open on various dates between November 15 and January 4.

Entry starts from £20.50 for adults and £11 for children.

Under-threes and essential companions go free.
