Wellbeing Festivals in Cornwall
Move over Boardmasters — there’s a new wave of festivals rolling out across Cornwall, and they’re not all about big bands and late-night parties. Quite the opposite, in fact.
From breathwork in wildflower meadows, to yoga at sunrise and cacao ceremonies under starlit skies, Cornwall’s festival scene is getting a wholesome reboot.
Think mindful movement, creative workshops, acoustic tunes and fresh sea air – with just the right amount of Cornish gin and coastal dancing thrown in.
