Billed as Europe’s most rambunctious garden fete, the Great Estate Festival returns to the Georgian grounds of Scorrier House near Redruth for a long weekend of music, art, theatre, comedy, and pure Cornish revelry. Set across the Georgian estate’s manicured gardens, woodlands, and secret stages, this award-winning festival has earned a devoted following for its intimate scale and eclectic programming.
The music lineup spans headline acts on the main stage through to emerging talent in the woods, with genres ranging from indie and electronic to folk and world music. Beyond the stages, the festival is packed with theatre performances, comedy shows, immersive art installations, workshops, and a well-curated food and drink village showcasing the best of Cornwall’s producers.
Camping is available on site, and the festival’s family-friendly ethos means there’s a dedicated kids’ area with activities running throughout the weekend. The Great Estate strikes a rare balance between a proper music festival and a creative, community-spirited celebration.
