Cornwall’s beloved festival, Live at Scorrier House, is back after a short break. From 22nd to 24th August 2025, the historic Scorrier Estate will once again play host to a weekend of top-tier live music in a truly unforgettable setting.
Set in the heart of the countryside, this boutique event brings together big-name acts, local favourites, and a relaxed festival vibe. Surrounded by ancient woodland and wild gardens, the venue adds something magical to every performance.
Topping the bill is none other than Richard Ashcroft, performing in Cornwall for the very first time. Known for his work with The Verve and five top-five solo albums, he’s set to deliver a headline set packed with iconic anthems including ‘Bittersweet Symphony’, ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’, and more.
Big Names, Big Songs, and a Stunning Setting
Saturday’s line-up also features the mighty Ash. Their hits like ‘Burn Baby Burn’ and new material from Race The Night are sure to get the crowd jumping. Joining them are Britpop favourites Echobelly, still fronted by the brilliant Sonya Madan, plus Chris Helme of The Seahorses, bringing new songs and 90s nostalgia in equal measure.
On Sunday, Cast will keep the energy going with a catalogue full of indie classics. Sleeper will bring their sharp lyrics and punchy melodies, while Turin Brakes offer a laid-back, soulful vibe. Mark Morriss of The Bluetones rounds out the day with a mix of solo material and fan favourites.
The weekend kicks off on Friday evening with a Silent Disco battle: Rock vs Indie. It’s a perfect warm-up for three days of great music and good company. Only weekend ticket holders can attend this exclusive opening party.
With tickets starting from £55 (plus booking fee), Live at Scorrier House offers real value for a stacked line-up. Festival organisers Ian Whittaker and Ben Hall have promised an unforgettable event. They’re especially excited to welcome Richard to Cornwall for the first time.
Tickets go on sale at 11am on Wednesday 26th March via www.liveatscorrierhouse.co.uk. Expect them to move fast.
Whether you’re reliving the glory days of Britpop or discovering these artists for the first time, this is a weekend you won’t want to miss.
