RATTLER FEST 2025 AT HEALEY’S CORNISH CYDER FARM NEAR TRURO TAKES PLACE ON 25-27 APRIL 2025. RATTLER CIDER, TOP QUALITY BANDS AND AN ADULT-ONLY FESTIVAL ATMOSPHERE MAKE THIS A CLASSIC…
In September 2021, at Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm in Penhallow near Truro, something happened. A festival began and it was an utter barnstormer, with amazing live music acts like The Good Old Fashioned Lover Boys and King Creature alongside all sorts of fun sideshows like a makeshift Olympics and wacky midnight games in a club named after cheese.
Well, that fest was such a success that it immediately became an annual event, with 2022’s event, which was held in April rather than September, being heralded as another massive success. Well, the 2023 event was an even bigger hit, with the likes of Welsh rappers Goldie Lookin’ Chain, pop-rock legends The Hoosiers, much-loved 90s outfit the Stereo MCs, celebrated DJ Chris Stark and Queen tribute act The Good Old Fashioned Lover Boys putting on one helluva show. 2024 welcomes 90s pop icons East17 to headline the Friday alongside much-loved pop-rockers Scouting For Girls. Cornish DJ Jam & Meme were on the decks and, woah, 90s kids TV heroes Dick and Dom spun the turntables on the Saturday night… the lineup looking suitably zany and fun.
But what’s happening at Rattler Fest 2025? Well, it’ll on from 25-27 April 2025 at Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm. Keep your eyes peeled here for line-up updates…
It’s sure to be another barnstormer for all you live music and cider fans. One big traditional draw for adults at the fest is that it’s only for, well, adults. And it’s also going to be packed with way more than just the main stage acts and the cider. Expect an army of celebrity DJs spinning throughout, the Mr and Mrs Rattler Competition (bring your other half!), ‘Apres-Ski Lodge sessions’ and zany ‘Spring Break party games’.
Other highlights from the 2024 edition that will return in 2025 include a massive silent disco in a woodland clearing, plus the much-loved ‘Rattler Olympics’. These events are a scream to watch, we promise you. Sprinkle in the Pineapple Beach bar and the legion of food trucks from far and wide and you’ve got the best music festival in the South West 2025.
Of course, you don’t need to be a cider drinker to enjoy Rattler Fest because there’s plenty of other boozy and non-boozy drinks on offer (but it helps if you want to shake that booty until at least midnight…). The local food trucks also offer all sorts of gourmet goodies throughout the weekend and there’s usually a fairground with some ace rides for all you big kids out there.
We recommend camping for the weekend, though, to soak up the entire fest that stretches out over idyllic farmland near Perranporth but you can come and go as you please should you wish. So yeah, grab your tickets and get down on the farm for Rattler Fest 2025. Everybody in the house of love: one love, one festival.
