Heartlands Opening Weekend: 20-22 April 2012

SAVE THE DATE
Heartlands Opening Weekend: 20-22 April 2012

Heartlands is preparing to open! After months of planning, designing, restoration, building and decorating, we are delighted to at last be able to launch to the world - and we'd like you to be involved in our celebrations!

Join us for a three-day party to celebrate the opening of Heartlands, the new 19 acre FREE visitor attraction and World Heritage Site.

Come along on Friday 20 April to join the Hearty Party Parade and official opening ceremony. Meet in the Heartlands car park off Dudnance Lane at 10.30am. The only ticket you need is a heart – in any variety you want!

Once the ceremony finishes, the music will start and the party begins! Prepare to be captivated by a mix of magic, myth and mayhem themed activities including music, dance, theatre, acrobatics and spectacle throughout Heartlands for the rest of the day and weekend!

Be enchanted by the fairies and piskies in the botanical gardens, dance around the Totem Circle to some of the best music in the South West, discover the underground secrets of Heartlands with atmospheric storytelling in the Engine House, skateboard and BMX with our urban legends or simply sit back and watch the magic (and mayhem!) unfold with a cream tea in our Red River Café. Friday evening (only) will end with a fireworks and fire show finale!

So, SAVE THE DATE in that diary, cancel all plans and come and join in the fun. We'll be in touch with more information soon.

Please note: if you or your family, school, organisation or community group would like to be involved in the Grand Parade or you are a performer and would like to be involved in the Magic, myth and mayhem extravaganza, please contact Kirsty Davies - kirsty.davies@heartlandscornwall.com / 01209 722323 by 31 March 2012.
