The best places to eat, stay, shop and visit in the South West

Rock the Oyster

The festival where fresh tunes and eats collide
Rock Oyster Festival

This summer, join us at Cornwall’s vibey Rock Oyster Festival where fresh tunes and eats collide. Now’s the time to plan your glamping getaway

In its lush spot on the banks of the Camel Estuary, Rock Oyster Festival enjoys possibly the most beautiful setting of any of the UK’s smorgasbord of music festivals. What’s just as special, however, is its foodie focus: the curation of chef demos and pop‑up restaurants is as heavyweight as the line‑up of musical acts.

As one of the sponsors of the festival, the Food Lifestyle team hit the road each year for four days of feasting and frolics at Rock Oyster. Alongside the core activities of lazing on the grass with a beer as you watch the bands (and jumping up and down with the crowd in the evenings), the weekend’s attractions include yoga, speciality coffee, quirky shopping, workshops and demos, family‑friendly fun and some seriously good eating.

This year’s headliners include Ministry of Sound Classical, Rag’n’Bone Man and UB40, while Kate Nash and Everything Everything will also take the stage. Gok Wan and Craig Charles are bringing the funk and soul vibes, while Oasis tribute act Be Here Now will recreate the Gallagher bros’ comeback tour – in Cornwall. See you there!
