The Lostwithiel Festival has now firmly established itself as an event in the town’s calendar and, thanks to the support of local individuals and businesses looks set to grow year on year.

The success of the Lostwithiel Festival owes a huge amount to the businesses and individuals who organise and support what has now become the busiest and most popular day of the year in Lostwithiel.

The 2010 Festival has more venues, more stalls, more music and more events than ever before. It’s a true community event, entirely free of charge and for that very reason we would ask you to give generously to support a really worthwhile charity.

We would particularly like to thank the massive team of volunteers, musicians and entertainers who give their time and services free of charge in order to make this event happen. We would also like to thanks Lostwithiel Town Council and Lostwithiel Rotary Club for their help and cooperation as well as Revival Design for putting together this programme and other publicity material.

Have a great day and help to make the Lostwithiel Festival 2010 a great event.

Getting to LostFest

Use your Brain - take the Train ... Car Free - Care Free

In order to avoid traffic congestion and frustration we ask visitors to leave your car at home and take the train into town. There are regular stopping trains throughout the day to and from Truro, St Austell and Par as well as Liskeard and Bodmin Parkway. Lostwithiel train station is in the middle of town. Ring national rail enquiries on 08457 484950 for more train times.

Park & Ride

There will be a free Park & Ride scheme at a site less than a mile from the town centre with buses running every 20 minutes to Lostwithiel station between 10am and 5pm. Follow signs from the A390 on the east side of Lostwithiel (towards Liskeard).

Please note that for this year's Festival, Fore Street, the main shopping street in town is closed off and diversions are in operation.

Car parking is free throughout Lostwithiel but with the big crowds that the Festival attracts there is certain to be a shortage of parking. If you do have to drive please park in the side streets on the outskirts of town. There are plenty of roadside parking spaces within 10 minutes walk of the town centre. Please park with consideration to others.

Last year we raised funds to support FLEET, a local charity made up of individuals who give their time to provide their service to the community. The huge effort that FLEET put into making the 2009 Festival a success was rewarded by raising some £3,000 for the charity. And this year, we aim to raise even more for FLEET.
