The Lost Gardens of Heligan are inviting visitors to a vibrant Easter celebration.
From April 3 to 19, the historic estate will host Spring Into Colour- a family-friendly festival full of seasonal blooms, baby animals, and interactive activities for all ages.
Highlights include a visit to Heligan’s Home Farm, where guests can meet newborn chicks, lambs, and Royal Golden Guernsey goat kids, making their debut at Heligan.

David Harland, chief executive of The Lost Gardens of Heligan, said: “After the historically horrible weather with which we started the year, spring is finally with us and we’re inviting everyone to come and celebrate it at Heligan.
“Our spring chickens are primed and ready to hatch and are set to join our imminent goat kids and lambs for a true Easter baby animal bonanza.
“We also have incredible flower displays, pollination-themed games, and an extension for our Neon Jungle rollerskate rink.
“Dust off those forgotten sunglasses and come and see how bright spring at Heligan can be.”
One of the main attractions is a colourful display of more than 60,000 spring flowers- including crocuses, daffodils, grape hyacinths, and tulips- on the lawn beside the Kitchen Garden.
The display will continue to bloom until May, creating a changing tapestry of bee-friendly blossoms.
Visitors can try the “pollination” challenge by tossing “pollen” balls into giant flower heads, contribute to a community artwork, and make celebration masks inspired by Heligan’s Giant’s Head.
For a change of pace, the Neon Jungle roller rink will be open every day of the festival.
A 45-minute skating session costs £10 per person, with skate hire available for an additional £3.
Admission to the main gardens is not required to access the roller rink.
Heligan is also offering a free colour-themed field guide for visitors to use during their exploration of the gardens.
All Spring Into Colour activities are included with standard admission.
The attraction recently announced a price reduction for Local Passes, following its Free Range Pricing experiment in January and February.
A Direct Debit Local Pass now costs the same as a single-day admission.
Visitors are encouraged to pre-book tickets on the Heligan website.
