Port Eliot Festival

last updated: Fri 12th Apr 2019

The Port Eliot Festival (previously called Port Eliot Lit Fest) is an annual celebration of words and music.

After hosting the now-legendary Elephant Fayre music festival at Port Eliot from 1981 to 1986, Lord St Germans began a new literary festival at Port Eliot in 2003.

The festival now includes music acts, alongside a cabaret tent, Boat House, the Caught By The River stage and the House of Fairy Tales. In 2012 it announced it would take a year out in 2013, before returning again as an annual event.
