The Charlatans play at Scorrier House's Great Estate this summer

Having been fortunate enough to be gently cooked at its inaugural year last year, our Laura looks forward to a party within the grounds of a great estate in Cornwall. Last year’s freshman year saw her sipping extraordinary amounts of (Cornish) Tarquin’s Gin within a secret gin garden, getting lost at a silent disco in the woods for hours on end and eating some of festival-kind’s most delicious food from the genius legends that are Wild Wine Club.

Set within the enigmatic grounds of Scorrier House, if Bank Holiday weekend is anything to go by, the nooks, crannies and glades of this great estate will be charged by boundless Cornish sun. With scorching temperatures and a friendly vibe, this festival promises more of the same and… wait for it… The Charlatans this year! And the best thing is it’s nestled within a 15 minute commute from Cornwall’s happening University town, Falmouth and up and coming arts town Redruth. It’s a ten minute taxi ride from the main Trainline from Paddington too, which means if the sun shines like last year, I can see scores of sun seekers hopping down and checking out the most rambunctious garden fete.

It was a privilege to be at the first Great Estate and it’s one to watch mature as the years go by and more acts are added to its impressive lineup. Keen supporters of local talent, the BBC Introducing stage promises a varied show and some of the Duchy’s finest acts.

Armed with an arsenal of hits, The Charlatans will take to the main stage on Saturday 2^nd June. Twenty-seven years since they first bagged a Number One album with ‘Some Friendly’, this talented quartet are still achieving fresh career highs. Having released new single ‘Over Again’ earlier this month, The Charlatans will showcase a mixture of their classic anthems plus a slice of their hugely successful thirteenth album ‘Different Days’ with 2018 partygoers.

Welcoming the Knights of Arkley to the wild meadows of Scorrier House, The Great Estate will thrill audiences with a medieval jousting display. Transporting festival guests back to the Middle Ages, the exhilarating performance is set to amaze.

Adding an air of sophistication to the party, Laurent-Perrier will host a VIP Champagne Lounge for guests wanting first-class, fizzy treatment. Prepare for a cork popping party at the newly added Octopus Lounge. Laura can’t wait to hang around here!

A vivacious variety of cabaret and burlesque awaits guests in Madame Wong’s House of Wrong. Blending glitz, glamour, comedy, tassels and tease, audiences can expect everything from fire dancing to sword swallowing alongside an eclectic blend of world music.

Great Estate’s onsite wellness area will offer head-to-toe pampering for weary festivals goers. Boasting wood-fired hot tubs, a sauna yurt, sound bath healing, massage, yoga sessions, guided meditation classes and crystal healing, The Sanctuary is on hand to help rejuvenate tired minds.

Other attractions include an onsite tattoo parlour, children’s area, barber shop and skate park.

From sipping Champagne on the lawn to dancing amongst ancient oak trees, The Great Estate promises a medley of national and international musicians, unforgettable performers, awe-inspiring speakers and head-turning happenings. Hot foot it to Cornwall on the train and get lost in a great escape at the great estate.
