Tunes in the Park 2026 St Germans (Saltash), United Kingdom

Overview

Tunes in the Park 2026 is a captivating four-day family music festival set within the enchanted, rolling hills of the Port Eliot Estate in Cornwall. Taking place during the August Bank Holiday weekend, this festival has quickly become a standout event in the South West, known for its laid-back atmosphere and stunning riverside backdrop. The estate, which features a Grade I listed house and world-class landscaped gardens, is transformed into a musical playground with multiple stages including the Main Stage, The Quarry, and the intimate Courtyard stage, each offering a unique acoustic and visual experience.

The festival is designed to be much more than just a series of concerts; it is a holistic weekend experience that celebrates the Cornish lifestyle through music, wellbeing, and local gastronomy. Attendees can transition from high-energy sets by international headliners to tranquil morning yoga sessions or leisurely canoe trips up the estuary. With a focus on “hygge” and family-friendly fun, Tunes in the Park provides a rare opportunity to enjoy world-class entertainment in a setting that feels personal, intimate, and deeply connected to the natural beauty of the St Germans countryside.

Event Highlights

• World-Class Headliners: The 2026 lineup features legendary acts such as Faithless, Basement Jaxx, and Jessie J performing on the sprawling Main Stage.
• The Quarry Stage: A unique second stage located in a former quarry, hosting high-energy bands like Mad Dog Mcrea and Dutty Moonshine Big Band.
• Wellbeing and Activities: A dedicated program featuring “Bubbles and Brush” painting sessions, guided canoeing, and family adventures in the Imaginarium Maze.
• VIP Feasting Sessions: Exclusive three-course dining experiences prepared by Cornwall’s top chefs, offering a unique blend of gourmet food and stage views.

Why Attend

Tunes in the Park is the ultimate destination for families and music lovers who prefer the “camp chair and sunshine” style of festival over the chaotic energy of larger mainstream events. It is perfectly suited for those who appreciate high production values but desire an intimate, safe environment where children can roam free and adults can relax with a cold cider on the lawn. The festival attracts a diverse crowd, from local Cornish residents to international travelers seeking a sophisticated British summer experience.

The festival’s unique programming makes it ideal for anyone interested in a multi-sensory holiday. Beyond the music, you can explore the historic Port Eliot House, participate in poetry readings at the Madhouse stage, or dance until dawn at the hidden silent disco. Whether you are coming for the nostalgia of 90s dance icons or the discovery of emerging indie talent, Tunes in the Park offers a curated, stress-free escape that perfectly captures the spirit of the Cornish summer.

• Sitting on the lawn with a view of the river while Faithless played was an absolute core memory for our family.
• The Port Eliot grounds are so much more beautiful and intimate than any other festival venue I have visited.
• I loved that I could do a yoga session in the morning and then see a massive dance act in the evening.
