Halloween at Heligan
- 24th Oct - 1st Nov 2026
Step into the darker side of history this October with medieval myths, haunting cinema and frightening falconry.
By day...
We’ll be joined by the UK’s leading historic falconry team, Raphael Historic Falconry, with daily shows investigating the contrasts of the natural world through the eyes of the Victorians, featuring their birds in a spellbinding mix of dark medieval myth and modern scientific enlightenment.
Spooky storytelling
Gather close for spine-tingling live retellings of the Brothers Grimm’s most macabre and twisted original tales – told just as they were intended…
All elements of our daytime offer are included in the price of Heligan admission.
Brave Heligan's ghosts by night...
Brave one of our spooky evening ghost tours and discover the hidden lore of generations of Heligan workers and residents...
Our Heligan ghost tours have a limited capacity and require an additional ticket.
Folk Horror Film Festival

We’re running eight nights of atmospheric folk horror deep within the estate, featuring cult horror classics, up-and-coming Cornish language films and more. Each evening begins with a lantern-lit trail through the historic gardens down to our pop-up screen. Drinks and snacks will be available to purchase before each screening.
