Now in its seventh year, the Port Eliot Festival (previously called Port Eliot Lit Fest) is an annual celebration of words, music, imagination, laughter, exploration, and – above all – fun.

We have got a family ticket to giveaway.

Tickets including camping, and weekend ticket holders will be able to arrive from 12 midday on Thursday 22nd July, giving those festival-goers the chance to discover the most beautiful camping spots, explore the enchanting setting and take in special entertainment laid on in the festival bars dotted around the Estate.

Nature lovers and culture vultures will get a chance to hang out at the Caught by the River area where they can experience Chris Watson’s Nature Disco, Cery Levy’s Bird Effect programme, which promises to be the most rock and roll bird watching event of the year, and artist Matt Sewell’s Bird Hide tent. Add a spot of wild swimming with Kate Rew in the estuary, Michael Howell’s Port Eliot Flower Show in the Orangery, a Fashion Tent in the Walled Garden where you can transform into your alter ego, the House of Fairytales deep in the rhododendron garden, the mayhem and madness of the Boathouse and One Minute Disco and opportunities for laid back learning at the Idler's Academy of Philosophy, Husbandry and Merriment and you have the ingredients for one of this summer’s most unique and imaginative events.
