Got to Experience…

The Great Estate Festival

Described as “the most rambunctious garden fête,” The Great Estate takes place in the picturesque grounds of Scorrier House near Redruth. This eccentric and wonderful festival mixes music, theatre, vintage fairground rides, secret gin gardens and even Victorian sports. It’s a playground for adults and children alike… where else might you stumble across a hidden woodland disco?

For three days from Friday 30th May to Sunday 1st June, luscious lawns and enchanting woodlands are whipped up into an eccentric extravaganza where human flamingos roam wild and oversized bumble bees greet guests in the gardens. With its whimsical charm and creative atmosphere, this immersive festival experience is unlike any other blending theatre, comedy and dance. This year, The Great Estate will welcome Supergrass, Happy Mondays, and Leftfield to the main stage, plus long-table feast evenings, circus acts, swimming pool and sauna sessions and thought-provoking talks. And that’s not all, festival goers can expect craft sessions for the little ones, a Victorian Sports Day, and all-round family-friendly vibes.
