This one-day festival is packed with an array of hands-on activities, demonstrations, re-enactments and performances showcasing everything that makes Cornwall special.
See Bronze Age axe-making in action, explore an Early Medieval encampment, try your hand at Cornish wrestling or sit back and enjoy traditional sea shanties that have been sung across the centuries. You can even let ‘The Cornish Caretakers‘ take you on a fun-filled adventure through Cornwall’s history or cheer on our warriors in an exciting battle at the end of the day!
Online advance tickets are £5 for Cornwall Heritage Trust and Enys Gardens adult members and under 18s go free. Online advance tickets for adults who aren’t members are priced at £10.
Online advance ticket sales will close at 9am on Friday 12th September 2025.
The festival is organised by Cornwall Heritage Trust, a small independent charity which protects Cornwall’s landscapes, traditions and stories and shares them with everyone.
Awenek! 2025 is sponsored by Coodes Solicitors and part-funded by FEAST Cornwall.
Pasties and sausage rolls from Ann's Pasties will also be available to pre-order, priced at £5.50 and £3.95. Pre-orders will close at 9am on Friday 5th September.
Awenek! is a huge undertaking which comes at a considerable cost to Cornwall Heritage Trust, so if you are able to make a donation in addition to your ticket to support the event, we would be hugely grateful.
Children must be accompanied at the festival. Entry with Cornwall Heritage Trust and Enys Gardens members tickets will be granted on presentation of your membership card at the entrance gate, and failure to present this will result in the refusal of entry.
