Tunes in the Park festival is one week away, held at the gorgeous Port Eliot Estate in Saint Germans, Cornwall. This festival, on the bank holiday weekend, is one of the last events of the summer for Tunes, a Cornish-based live music organization with camping, activities, and unique locations. Past events this summer through Tunes included Tunes in the Dunes, The Wild Gardens, Tunes in the Castle, and more.
Tunes in the Park has two stages, the Main Stage located at the entrance overlooking the incredible estate. Headliners include Jess Glynne, Craig David, Boy George & Culture Club, Vernon Kay, and Scouting For Girls. Notable acts at the Main Stage include Daniel Bedingfield, Ellie Sax, Louisa Johnson, and The Wanted.
Their secondary stage, The Quarry, held at the entrance of the estate’s gardens, includes artists Rudi’s Message, Rue, Jack Botts, Laura Kate, Tom Carey, and Tess Emilia. Throughout the weekend, there are also performances from a variety of cover bands.
There will be a separate stage, known as The Mad House, held in the gardens specifically for comedy acts. Comedic acts include Joel Dommett, Paul Smith, and Katherine Ryan. After dark, every night, there is a silent disco after party near the Quarry Stage.
Tunes is also known for its wellness section. This upcoming festival includes sessions of woodland yoga, soothing sound baths, morning meditation, massages, wild swimming, creative workshops, saunas, and a silent disco body workout. Activities throughout the weekend also include a bottomless brunch, canoeing, Mad Hatter’s tea party, VIP feasting sessions of a three-course meal overlooking the main stage, and bubbles and brush, a space to enjoy champagne and painting.
For festivalgoers excited to start planning, the festival grounds are a 5-10 minute walk from the Saint Germans train station. There are also pre-arranged bus routes and different parking areas on the festival grounds. Camping grounds open at 9 am on Thursday, August 21, and close at noon on Monday, August 25.
