The Time of Gifts at the Eden Project - with Britain's largest outdoor ice-rink - opens in late October and comes to a close in early February - with the Ice Rink open until the end of February half-term holidays.

Bulb Mania ! Literally millions of bulbs planted in huge swathes across the Outdoor Biome. If all goes according to plan, they should be in bloom from March through to the end of May and make a tremendous spectacle. A good reason to include Eden on your visit to the Spring Gardens of Cornwall - beginning in mid-February with the National Trust gardens such as Lanhydrock and Trelissick. Cornwall's well worth a visit in the Spring !

The Eden Project at Night - actually on one of the Asian Buffet evenings, meals served with live music and followed by a stroll around the Humid Tropics Biome.
