Events programme

LostFest is an eclectic mix - there's music and dance all over town to keep you entertained, stalls selling arts, crafts, antiques and food to browse, plus live demonstrations and workshops to watch. On top of all that there are also special events and activities to keep you entertained.

Demos & workshops

Look out for live demos and workshops amongst the stalls at LostFest. Green woodworking, willow working, felting and embroidery are among some of the skills you can observe and perhaps try your hand at.

Kids

On the beach beside the river, next to the medieval bridge, you'll find face painting, magic displays and stalls plus a craft tent with free arts and crafts activities to keep kids (and parents!) busy. Enjoy some woolly mayhem at a children's knitting workshop with LostFest's own knitting fairy.

Lost For Words

From 12 noon onwards St Bartholomew's churchyard will be home to LostFest's own mini literary festival - readings by published poet Lorna Thorpe and members of Lostwithiel Writers' Group.

History of the town

As in previous years, visitors will get the chance to find out more about Lostwithiel by exploring the town's museum for an insight into the history of this ancient town, and the Mayor's Parlour for another look at the town's history.

Evening entertainment

From 5pm the unbridled, festival sound of the Roving Crows will be coming from the Parade, close to the Skinners tent.

Royal Talbot

12.00 onwards - family fun day with music, barbecue, beer tents and children's activities throughout the day.
