Heligan Homecoming Festival: An evening with Dawn French and Sue Hill

Join us as we bring the inaugural Heligan Homecoming Festival to a close with an unforgettable evening of conversation and culture.

We’re honoured to welcome beloved author, comedian, and national treasure Dawn French in conversation with acclaimed artist, sculptor and theatre maker Sue Hill.

This unique, one-night-only event promises warmth, wit, and insight as two remarkable women reflect on creativity, community, and homecoming.

To complement the evening, enjoy the rich and evocative sounds of Dalla Duo, performing a spellbinding mix of traditional tunes — from wild, foot-tapping dances to beautifully haunting melodies.

Come and celebrate the finale of our festival in true Cornish spirit.

Doors open at 6 pm allowing attendees the opportunity to walk through our romantic gardens and enjoy food and drink beforehand - a truly Heligan experience rooting those attending with a sense of home.
