Feb - May |
  Bulb Mania at the
Eden Project – an astonishing show daffodils, tulips and other springtime delights coming to bloom in
March, April and May.
2010 will be Eden’s seventh spring festival and it gets better and better
with more than a million bulbs being added in successive waves of
colour. Come in March for the daffodils, April for the tulips and May
for the lilies.
What’s best in February/March?
Tamara, the most popular daffodil used as a cut flower, is in abundance at
Eden during January. In February, other early flowering favourites such as
Tete-a-tete, Martinette, and Jetfire turn Eden’s acres to gold. March is
the peak daffodil month with the rare Eden Gold among the highlights. The
spectacular anemone St Piran enhances the show.
Bulb Mania has become a must-see event right up alongside the magnolias,
rhododendrons and camellias of the great woodland gardens such as
Heligan, Trengwainton and Trebah. |

 Alice
in Wonderland @ Antony
Director Tim Burton chose Antony to be a key location for the new Disney
adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, which is out in cinemas on 5 March
2010*. Since filming took place at Antony in 2008, we've been inspired
to create our own magical wonderland. The house, garden and estate will
all be transformed so you can enjoy our tea parties, walk through scenes
from the dream-like stories of Alice, and even meet our own Mad Hatters.
Visit the Anthony website or see below for event details.
* Alice in Wonderland is released across the UK on 5 March on 2D, Disney
Digital 3D and IMAX 3D® screens. |

St Piran's Day - Patron
Saint of Cornwall
Cornwall’s patron saint, St Piran, is the patron saint of tinners from
whom the county’s flag takes its name. Over the centuries many pilgrims
have visited the site of St Piran's Oratory or Chapel in the towans at
Perran Sands. On the nearest Sunday to his special day, March 5,
hundreds of people come from all over Cornwall and beyond come to
remember and honour him. St Piran’s Tide occurs surrounding the date
March 5 and has evolved around St Piran’s Day to provide a week-long
event of festivities taking place throughout Cornwall. A highlight of
the week are colourful processions with music and dance though Bodmin
and Truro on St Piran’s Day itself, and also a re-enactment of St
Piran’s arrival in Cornwall on Perran Sands, Perranporth, on the Sunday
closest to the 5th of March - St Pirans Play. |
