LostFest is unique - we are a free, community festival that supports local artists and businesses. This year, we have made some changes to improve the festival experience: We start at 10:30 with an amazing parade by Barts Beats, so come early and enjoy the day. We look forward to seeing you soon!

We have makers from all over Cornwall joining us, offering their wares, tasters and advice. There's a Gin Bar where you’ll be able to choose your preferred gin from the menu, then choose the cocktail or tonic water you’d like it with. Discover your new favourite gin by the River Fowey under the canopy of ancient trees.

Lostwithiel Rotary Club, carnival week is 6 days of merriment and sport in July or August and one of Cornwall's best little carnivals. With the Charity Fayre Day, Cricket, Rounders, unforgettable Pram Race, Concert, Raft Race, Street Party, Duck Race, Football and Carnival Parade there's something for everyone. See the What's on section for details of events held each day during carnival week.

Lost in Art is a celebration of all the fantastic talent that Lostwithiel and the surrounding area has, by encompassing it into an Art Trail which will take you on a journey around the town. On the trail there will be artist's and maker's shops, galleries and own space plus makers and artists will be exhibiting at the communal locations of the Community Centre and the Scout Hut.

The evening starts off at 6pm with the town cryer, church bells, followed shortly by the Town Band outside the Museum. Stiltwalkers, and other Victorian characters will join you in the streets along with many locals and visitors - join in if you fancy. Our shops around town are open until 9pm and many shopkeepers dress up in Victorian garb too.
