The Lost Gardens of Heligan will be celebrating 25 years with an extravaganza of song, dance, theatre and storytelling by three irrepressibly brilliant local theatre companies.

In June, Miracle Theatre will venture into a world somewhere between Alice in Wonderland and the Marx Brothers, where the earth is not round but sausage-shaped and night is actually an accumulation of black air; where eccentric policemen fall in love with bicycles and you can visit eternity via a rickety lift, hidden in the heart of rural Ireland.

From July, allow your imagination to run wild as you step into a wild and exciting story-world, created by multi award winning Rogue Theatre at the enchanted heart of gardens.

When Heligan stirred from a long sleep, the flowers woke first, and then the animals, and then the trees, and then the birds, and then, quite unexpectedly; another world woke as well.

The Lost Gardens Summer Ball is an immersive theatre adventure that weaves along the beautiful paths of Heligan and into the story world of The Land of Fae. And there, the Woodland King and the Moon await to share thrilling and fantastical tales that will come to life upon the stage. And at the end, visitors can dance together - it is a ball after all.

Finally, from August, Hansel and Gretel are in the depths of the magical woodland but desperate to find their way home. From stones to crumbs, can they follow their trail or will they be side-tracked by the allure of that sticky, sweet home in the woods? And what about the little old lady within?

Cscape Dance Company turn the twisting pathways at Heligan into an evening of story-telling, dance, music, design and installation. Join them on a journey through the gardens on this evocative, surprising and memorable experience for all the family. Prepare for darkness, light, magic and wonder.
