As time went on, our reach expanded beyond Cornwall and encompassed artists and events from across Devon and the entire South West of England, UK.

The Greatest Great Estate Review

2nd - 4th June 2023

Scorrier Estate, Cornwall

The Great Estate Festival this weekend was a roaring success as the grounds of Scorrier House in West Cornwall opened it's gates to the hoards of sun-kissed party lovers. This event appears to be growing in popularity with every year that goes by, and you don't have to look too hard to see why. The wide audience the event attracts has created a very unique vibe. Families, free spirits, ravers, and any other walk of life you can think of coming together for the shared experience of good music, good food and absolutely stunning weather. One minute, you could find yourself working hot iron in a real forge, the next cooling down with a relaxing massage before trying your hand at archery or getting a tattoo!

The children got an intense workout at Maddam Wongs House of Wrong with Junior Jungle. For anyone who has never experienced heavy jungle music in a tent half filled with parents dancing like it's 1996 alongside fifty under 10's is an experience not to be missed and might actually be the best party I've ever attended.

The main stage played host to some incredible acts. Headliners included The Selecter, Primal Scream, and Symphonic Ibiza. The latter of which played us out on the final night and was nothing short of euphoric in such a stunning setting at the end of a perfect weekend.

As if that lineup didn't impress, there was a vast array of both established and new, quality performers. Henge, The Pattern Pushers and local favourites The Velvet Hands... the choice and variety seemed endless.

Choice and variety are also rather apt when your tummy starts yearning for sustenance after all that activity. The smells coming out of the food trucks and bars could easily land you with a serious food coma. Afterwards why not try a delicious rum cocktail from the 8Track bar whilst you marvel at the performers setting up on it's roof. The future plans for which could see up and coming new talent getting to perform atop of it at a festival near you.

So, as the post festival blues kick in, I find myself already thinking to 2024 and what the next iteration of The Great Estate may bring. One thing is certain, The Great Estate has cemented itself as a firm favourite for many this weekend. Bravo!
