Port Eliot, Cornwall
Originally a literary festival in the grounds of a stately home near Saltash, Port Eliot has expanded to include music (this year Andrew Weatherall and the Doves), chefs, designers and performers as well as authors. Last year Kate Winslet popped up as a storyteller for children and Martin Scorcese has previously curated the film programme. For children, there is a market where they can set up stalls, a writing workshop, and Hullabaloo in the woods — with games, drama, music and treasure hunts. About 7,000 tickets are on sale.
