Awenek! The Great Cornish Heritage Festival
8th September
Celebrate Cornish heritage and tradition at Heligan with Awenek, a one day festival packed with hands-on activities, demonstrations, re-enactments and performances showcasing everything that makes Cornwall special. Throughout the festival you’ll have the opportunity to try your hand at Cornish wrestling, explore an Early Medieval encampment or see the endangered craft of Cornish hedging in action. After a day full of action, sit back and listen to Ed Rowe, “The Kernow King”, regale you with stories of Cornish heroes and heroines. Then end the day cheering on Heligan’s Cornish warriors as they take part in an exciting battle to bring the festival to an end.
Garden and Estate Foraging Walks
26th September, 11am - 1.30pm
Discover hidden edible trasures at The Lost Gardens of Heligan. This September, visitors can join Heligan's expert forager, Emma Gunn, for an insightful walk around the beautiful Heligan garden and estate, to explore the abundance of their hedgerows, and the natural habitats.
During this unique experience, you'll discover a wide range of edibles and learn about how to use them, recipes to create, their healing properties, along with how to identify toxic lookalikes and how to forage from nature sustainably.
From wild edibles to garden varieties, there’s so much to discover! The walk will finish at the estate Learning Den, where you will be invited to try a range of foraged snacks and have the chance to question Emma about all things harvesting and eating from the wild.
Your weekly dose of Cornish cheer!
