About
Local Christmas enthusiast Lynne Behennah from Mevagissey brings her festive cheer to The Lost Gardens of Heligan this autumn and winter, as she opens her Charity Christmas Shop.
The Holly and the Ivy offers everything from handmade craft products to fair trade items sourced by Lynne. This cosy shop at Heligan is the perfect place for Christmas shopping.
“I love Christmas and particularly decorations. I have visited many Christmas markets and have bought decorations all over the world. I hope that my shop will bring some of those experiences to Cornwall” said Lynne.
The Holly and the Ivy Christmas Shop will be open at Heligan GardensTuesday – Saturday 11:00 – 16:30 until Christmas Eve.
There's Free access to the Christmas Shop is in the Plant Nursery of Heligan's Shop. The Heligan Tearooms are open as well and Lobb's Farm Shop so it's great day out!
Last year I helped organise Mevagissey's first Christmas Tree Festival. It was really so nice to see the shops and organisations get involved. It was incredibly successful; everybody loved it and we raised £2,000 for charity!
The shop aims to sell a mixture of high quality decorations. Some are hand crafted in Cornwall. You will find :
Beautiful glass balls, some hand blown and decorated. One range is a mixture of pure glass white, silver and gold. Another, rich jewel colours decorated with gold and silver.
Birds. There are gold ones, silver ones, knitted ones, felt ones, glass ones, tartan ones and glass peacocks.
