You hear the word festival and instantly think of checked shirts, short denim shorts and florals. Completed with aviators, wellington boots and some form of satchel right? 99% of the time you would be right. But the Port Eliot Festival could not be any further away from this. The Port Eliot Festival which takes place in none other that Port Eliot in Cornwall is a literary festival, so scratch the cool bands and think Pulitzer Prize winning writers. Doesn't compare to standing knee deep in mud at 'Glasto' while watching your 'favourite' band? Let me change your mind...
This year, the likes of Anna Sui, milliner Stephen Jones and none other than Luella Bartley, will be attending the festival. Anna Sui will be there to do an event with Andrew Bolton from MOMA, Stephen Jones will be on hand along with Vogue's Sarah Mower to run a special floral hat trimming master class and believe it or not Luella Bartley will be in the Fashion Tent making one of a kind creations for festival goers! Now that's my kind of festival.
What's best is that there's a range of accommodation choices from the surrounding hotels, standard 'pitch your own tent camping', gypsy bow top caravans and tipis and yurts. A classy affair with no port-a-loo in sight!
