The 2011 LostFest took place on Saturday 14th May from 6pm to 10pm and Sunday 15th May from 10am to 5pm.

Both days were hugely successful and we've had fantastic feedback - visit the LostFest Facebook page to see some of the comments. Thanks to everyone for your support!

Enormous thanks to everyone who took part, helped organise and came along to this year's events. We rely on a huge number of volunteers to make LostFest the amazing success that it is. It's a lot of work but it's great fun - if you want to get involved please get in touch.

This is the 5th annual Lostwithiel Festival and it's an event that gets bigger and better every year. With 150+ street performers, around 100 different stalls, demonstrations by local artists and craftspeople, a kids craft centre and much, much more and you've got the recipe for a fun packed day for the whole family.

Those of you who came to the first Festival in 2007 may remember that it was a day more appropriate to buying umbrellas than arts and crafts. Not put off by that damp start, we soon found that each year more and more stallholders and musicians wanted to take part in the event which now attracts over 3,000 people to Lostwithiel. With a fantastic volunteer army of organisers and helpers, LostFest is now one of Cornwall's most popular free festivals.

Once again this year all profits from LostFest will go to a thoroughly deserving local charity, FLEET. Their efforts in helping us to set up and run LostFest are invaluable to its success, and we would ask you to visit them and support them by donating to this great organisation. With this year's event, LostFest will have raised over £10,000 for FLEET.

Our fundraising efforts have been greatly helped this year by our main sponsors, Skinners, whose generous support is very much appreciated.
