Porthilly Spirit Festival

The waters around Cornwall are teeming with wildlife, and sea safaris with Wavehunters are the best way to see it up close. Learn about seals with the Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust in the talks tent, then head out to find some for yourself. 📷 Otterly Wild Photography

Padstow's @PrawnOnTheLawn is renowned for celebrating the simple pleasures of fresh local seafood. They'll be creating a feast you won't forget. This isn't the place for silver cutlery. Grab a crab hammer and seafood pick, and join friends at the communal long table.

Warm up after a day of sea swims and coastpath exploration by dancing into the evening with folk-pop collective @KestonCobblers. The critically-acclaimed band are regulars on the festival circuit. If you haven't already seen them live, chances are you've heard them on @BBC6Music

Find @eco_boy James Strawbridge filling our barn with smoke during smoking workshops throughout the weekend. James is a Cornish chef, author and artist. He's written books on self-sufficiency, cooking with home-grown produce, and curing meat.

@RogueTheatreUK creates immersive, daring theatre, with an energy and passion which appeals to old and young. By day, experience tales of myth, magic, folklore and legend, and by night immerse yourself in music-led storytelling by the fire, as the embers burn.

Create classic, beautifully-shaped wooden boards with Dick Pearce & Friends. Use methods passed down through generations to decorate your own board. Get it looking perfect, let it dry, and head to Baby Bay to try it out.

Porthilly Spirit’s oyster bar will be brimming with Porthilly oysters from a mile down the road. We couldn’t be happier to invite @The_Oysterlady to run our oyster bar. Expect oyster mixology, oysters cooked over fire, and oysters with shallot, red onion and white wine vinegar.

Singer-songwriter @MarthaTilston – whose folk roots have helped her create a unique and captivating sound – will perform as part of Porthilly Spirit's Sunday music line-up. We can't wait to hear her music drift across the farm. Keep an eye on our page for more information.

The kids' area at Porthilly Spirit is a space for younger ones to run wild and explore their creativity. Throughout the weekend, Wild Warriors will be creating woodland assault courses, and running workshops on making head dresses, how to light fires, and more.

There’s no place like #Cornwall for outdoor theatre. Enjoy it with family, friends and loved ones during the warmer months to make it extra special.

This time of year is perfect for long wintery walks in #Cornwall – with crunchy leaves and woodland paths underfoot.

Remembering warm summer nights and carefree afternoons - we won't say no to that at Porthilly.

As the evenings draw in, we think this is an excellent reason to enjoy cocktails by candlelight with friends, old and new.

We have news - Porthilly Spirit 2020 is go. We’re delighted to say that Cornwall Council has granted a licence in perpetuity, and the date has been confirmed: Friday 22 to Monday 25 May 2020. Updates will be announced on our social channels in the coming weeks.

Food tastes extra delicious when surrounded by family and friends, conversation flowing, memories being made.
