At The Port Eliot Lit Fest we do something different with words. Featuring a rich contempory mix of writers, poets, filmmakers, digital artists, sculptors and musicians, this three-day event attracts a wide range of visitors, who can pitch their tents for free and enjoy the stellar performances in 100+ acres of 18th century landscaped parkland and walled gardens in the grounds of an ancient stately home. This is a literary circus! The festival also very much welcomes families with children. Hosted by the Earl of St Germans, the festival is organized by Catherine Wilson, journalist and author, Simon Prosser, Publishing Director of Hamish Hamilton, Chloe Ruthven, artist and teacher, Rick Worthy, actor and musician and Robert Hocking, digital artist and teacher. We will again be opening a film tent with a seating capacity of approx 250 and black out facility. This was a big hit last year, and saw some wonderful and eccentric events. In the house there will be The Artytechs Parlour, where you will find cutting-edge experiments in artistic digital technology. Again we will be offering a much wider range of fabulous food to suit every taste including vegetarian, hot breakfasts, all day carvery, tapas bar, Spanish churros, falafels, tea and cakes in the Orangery, Cornish pasties, crepes and an ice cream van by the estuary. Plus the bookshop and a bazaar of stalls selling vintage clothes, jewellery, wrought iron work, soap, handmade paper and other delights. Lillian Jones will be returning with her massage tent in the Scented Garden. Campers will be able to enjoy deluxe hot showers. We expect to attract a lot more interest this year, so make sure you get your tickets in good time for this really special event and come to a pastoral heaven in Cornwall in July and have the time of your life in the company of many talented and entertaining artists. We guarantee a unique and unforgettable weekend. The Ticket Line will be open from 1st. April 2005. Please call 07776 033069 or e-mail to: info@porteliotlitfest.com |
