The Great Estate Festival returns to the Georgian grounds of Scorrier House near Redruth for a long weekend of music, art, theatre, comedy, and food. Set across the estate’s gardens, woodlands, and tucked-away stages, this award-winning festival draws around 5,000 people - large enough for a proper lineup but small enough that you can walk between stages in minutes.
The music spans headline acts on the main stage through to emerging talent in the woodland clearings, covering indie, electronic, folk, and world music. Past lineups have included Kool & the Gang, The Stranglers, Orbital, and Craig Charles. Beyond the stages, there are theatre performances, comedy shows, art installations, and workshops running from dawn to well after dark.
The food village showcases Cornwall’s producers - local beer, cheese, seafood, and street food. Camping is available on site with family pitches, glamping options, and a dedicated kids’ area with activities running all weekend.
