Nearly 1000 visitors headed to Enys Gardens in September 2025 to celebrate everything that makes Cornwall special at Awenek, our Great Cornish Heritage Festival – and what a day it was!
From sea shanties and Cornish wrestling to expert-led talks and apple pressing, the festival was packed with an incredible array of activities. Highlights include seeing a Bronze Age forge in action, weapons displays, combat re-enactments, live music, traditional crafts demonstrations and even the chance for visitors to craft their own ancient tools.
Huge thanks go to CineWanderer Productions for creating this wonderful record of the day and to all our visitors, exhibitors, staff, volunteers and sponsors who made the festival possible. Thank you to Coodes Solicitors for generously sponsoring the festival and to Feast Cornwall for part-funding it.
The day had a wonderful atmosphere and it was fantastic to see how much everyone enjoyed exploring Cornwall’s arts, culture, traditions and history.
We are also hugely grateful to those of you who so generously made donations, purchased raffle tickets or bought some of our fundraising merchandise in support of the event. Awenek is a huge undertaking which comes at considerable cost to our charity, and your support makes a massive difference to our work. Thank you!
