Cornwall’s vibrant Rock Oyster Festival returns to the banks of the Camel Estuary from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 July 2025, promising another sensational summer weekend packed with mouth-watering seafood, acclaimed chefs, and incredible live music. Set in the lush countryside near Wadebridge, this family-friendly festival has rapidly become a must-visit event, blending food, music, and Cornish culture into one unforgettable experience.
