Unforgettable Stories from Elements Festival

In Celebration of Sidetracked Magazine

 

Cornwall’s rugged coastline

A beautiful weekend of connection, camping and creativity.

 

Friday 14th – Sunday 16th June 2024.

 

We are proud to have partnered alongside Voited and Norrona for the Elements Festival in celebration of Sidetracked’s 10th anniversary and the launch of its 30th issue.

Kudvha in Cornwall

Set in stunning Kudvha against the backdrop of Cornwall’s rugged coastline and immersive maritime weather, this innovative boutique festival was designed to foster connections with nature and the community which it did in abundance. It brought together a great bunch of people to enjoy the eclectic programme of creative masterclasses and active outdoor workshops.

The itinerary ranged from film-making and photography, lino printing, writing, climbing, trail running, surfing, cold water swimming in the sea and the quarry, as well as the Beach Clean hosted by Voited, yoga with Movewell, bushcraft with The James Brand, wild cooking and more.

The evenings were pretty packed too with lively nights of adventure films, inspiring talks by incredible explorers, live music including traditional Cornish sea shanties and dancing.

Food trucks were offering the finest local ingredients, and freshly made pizzas by a local chef on Solo Stove fire pits were on hand to bring flavour and sustenance after a busy day of laughter, learning and adventuring.
