Atmosphere & Camping

The festival’s warm, friendly atmosphere feels like a country fete among friends. On-site camping and glamping, some with private hot tubs, allow guests to stay comfortably under the stars.

By car, Scorrier House is accessed via the A30 trunk road. From the east (Exeter/Bristol direction), continue west on the A30 toward Camborne and Redruth and follow signs for Scorrier. From the west (Penzance), travel east on the A30 and exit at Scorrier. On festival days, there is ample parking on nearby fields; attendants will guide vehicles. Keep in mind that Cornwall's rural roads can be narrow, so allow extra travel time.

By train, the nearest stations are Camborne and Redruth (on the Great Western Railway main line to Penzance). Trains from London Paddington, Bristol or Plymouth serve these stations; CrossCountry trains also run this route via Plymouth. From Camborne or Redruth, Scorrier House is just a short taxi or ride-share trip away. Local buses to Camborne and Redruth are limited (see Transport for Cornwall), so most visitors hire a taxi or arrange a shuttle for the final mile. Some festivals run event shuttles from nearby towns, so check official updates.

By air, the nearest airport is Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY), about a 30 to 40-minute drive from Scorrier House. Newquay offers flights from major UK cities and some European destinations. Exeter Airport (EXT) is another option, roughly a 2-hour drive away. After landing, travelers can rent a car, or take a coach/train towards Camborne or Redruth and switch to a local taxi. National Express coaches from larger cities also serve Cornwall, often stopping at Camborne or Redruth, which you can follow with a short taxi ride.

Accommodation options abound in the area. Camborne and Redruth offer hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs for various budgets. Nearby coastal villages – Portreath, Perranporth and St Agnes (each 15–20 minutes away) – feature seaside inns and holiday parks. Late May is a busy time in Cornwall, so it is wise to book early. If you prefer to stay on site, check whether the festival offers camping or glamping packages (sometimes including extra perks like pre-pitched tents or hot tubs). Book well in advance to secure the best options and prices.
