Wild Gardens Festival takes over the grounds of Port Eliot Estate near St Germans for a long weekend of music, wellness, and outdoor experiences. The estate’s gardens, woodland, and quarry provide a backdrop that feels more private party than festival field.
The programme runs across multiple stages - a main stage in the gardens, a quarry stage, woodland performances, and a silent disco. The wellness offering includes yoga sessions, sound baths, wild swimming, and forest bathing. Food and drink stalls focus on local producers.
Port Eliot is one of Cornwall’s grandest private estates, with grounds designed by Humphry Repton. The festival makes use of the landscape in a way that larger events can’t match - intimate scale, varied terrain, and a sense of discovery as you move between stages.
