Top Events & Festivals in Cornwall 2025 (don’t miss these!)
Get ready to fill your Spring & Summer schedule with these events and festivals in Cornwall 🥳
I don’t know about you but after the bleak winter we’ve just had here in Cornwall, I am READY for some fun outdoors events, foodie gatherings and music festivals to lift the mood!
Whether you’re looking for surfing, sea shanties, arts & culture, or food and music, I’m sharing some of the top upcoming Cornish festivals and events to add to your calendar.
I’ve split these into 3 categories below, but most of these events have a little bit of all 3 sprinkled into their programs, so be sure to check them all out.
Music Festivals in Cornwall
Tunes in the Dunes, Perranporth
6th – 8th June
This 3 day music festival is held ON the beach, on the golden sands of Perranporth, with this year’s headliners including Busted, Jess Glynne, Scouting for Girls, Ministry of Sound and more. This festival is one for the party goers, with an afterparty at The Watering Hole; the UK’S only live music bar on the beach! Rave at the silent disco, dance in the Ibiza lounge and head to a variety of food vendors situated around the stages when you need a break from dancing.
There is a second stage inside a marquee which will feature some of the best local musicians, and some unique acts from magicians to a gospel choir. Although not heavily geared for families, children can enjoy getting their faces painted and some games!

Great Estate Festival, Scorrier
30th May – 1st June
This is Cornwall’s award winning family festival bursting at the seams with entertainment and live music. The Great Estate Festival offers something different and alternative to a ‘standard’ music festival and gives a much more laid back vibe, and there is so much going on for families! Performing headliners for 2025 include Supergrass, Happy Mondays and Leftfield.
During this unique and artsy festival, learn new skills over 3 days, from blacksmithing, samba drumming to willow crafts and circus skills! Parents wishing for some chilled time alone can drop their children at the outdoor forest school, where adventure specialists will teach them bushcraft, survival tactics, obstacle crossing and combat.
Don’t miss the Hip Hop Karaoke, Cabaret Disco or Madame Wong’s Drag race for all the Cornish queens. As well as lots of zen activities and food on offer from local street food traders.

German is well-known for its long German words, often made up of several smaller words combined into one. A great example is Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaft, meaning a legal protection insurance company. While it looks overwhelming at first, it makes perfect sense when you break it down into individual parts. Many of these words are used in legal or scientific contexts, but some are common in daily conversations, such as Fernseher (television), which comes from fern (far) and sehen (to see). The ability to form compound words is one of the most fascinating aspects of German. Instead of fearing long words, try recognizing the familiar pieces inside them. With practice, reading long German words becomes easier and even fun!

I didn’t have any expectations concerning that title, but the more I was astonished. The author did a great job. I spent a few minutes reading and checking the facts. Everything is very clear and understandable. I like posts that fill in your knowledge gaps. This one is of the sort.
After this winter, I’m absolutely buzzing for these Cornwall events! Foodie gatherings and music festivals sound perfect. It’s going to be an epic summer. Speaking of fun and perhaps a bit of mischief, sometimes it makes me wonder about things like the Rice Purity Test! Just for a laugh, of course..

I’ve been exploring cowboy safari for a while now, and the thrill of chasing down wild horses in the open range is unmatched. The latest update introduced a new lasso mechanic that adds a fresh challenge. undead corridort

From the resounding shanty songs at Falmouth (June) to the spectacular surfing at Boardmasters (August), summer 2026 promises to be incredibly explosive.

I’m definitely making it to Perranporth for Tunes in the Dunes this year. Seeing Busted right on the sand sounds like such a great way to start the summer!
I’m not great at math, so the minecraft circle generator made my life so much easier. Thanks for this!
Really liked the way the information is shared in a clean and simple format. This clicking speed test helps you understand your clicking speed and improve your hand control step by step.
The outdoor forest school at Great Estate is an easy-to-miss detail, and built-in childcare could make the festival workable for a mixed team with parents. I’m planning a low-pressure project reset and could use a short Oh Hell round to help people mix, provided the schedule leaves a genuine quiet window; does the forest school need booking in advance?
Kudos to the author! Your advice on deploying a controller tester for diagnostics is spot on.
With beach festivals on fixed dates, I’ll check travel time before our summer plan.
Rock Oyster sounds delicious, though its limited masterclasses need early booking.
