Our favourite faery gathering 3 Wishes Faery Fest is moving to a beautiful new venue for 2011. Mount Edgecumbe Counry Park in Cornwall is a stunning 800 acre estate including ancient woodland, a fairy folly, secret coves and deer park, set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The festival will be centered around the Cedar Lawn which features a beautiful crystal and shell mermaids throne overlooking the site. It’s the perfect place to frolic in the Midsummer sunshine this 17th-19th June.
The lineup has also started to be announced – bands this year include 3 Daft Monkeys, The Dolmen, Daughters of Gaia, Freyia, Aero, Spriggan Mist, Elfin Spiral, Beneath The Oak, Malachite, Taking the Piskies, Elizabeth-Jane Baldry, Ziazan and more to be confirmed.
