Would love to visit Lost Gardens of Heligan

Hi all,

This is my first post on here, so I'm a bit shy, hope I do it right!

I am going on a trip to Cornwall in two weeks with my OH (lovely £9.50 Sun offer) and would love to visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan, but the entry price is a little above our very, very slender budget. Does anyone know of any vouchers available?

thank you

Elfin.

    Hi elfin,

    I have a small b & B in St austell 5 miles from Heligan gardens, the price to get into heligan gardens is Adults £8.50. Sorry to say but the only way to get any discount is if you visit The Eden project as well.
    If you pick up a Great Gardens of Cornwall leaflet up from the tourist info centre.
    Show the leaflet at any of the 'Great Gardens' (Heligan, Eden, Bonython, Caerhays, Lamorran, Trebah, Trewithen,Trevarno, Lanhydrock, Cotehele, Antony, Trelissick, Trengwainton or Tresco)
    and it will be stamped as proof of entry then returned to you. you will be charged the standard rate on this first visit, but your stamped leaflet will then qualify you, plus up to 4 of your friends (max 5 persons ) to discounted entry rates at all of the 'Great gardens'.

    Hope this helps, have a great trip.
    Sue
    Ps Eden Project is £14.00 for adults

    If you save tesco clubcard points you can buy eden project entrance tickets with deals tokens. I don't know if that would get you the discount mentioned above?

    I've done Eden and Heligan and loved both but my favourite was Heligan!
  • Thankyou, I will definitely pick up a leaflet :-)
