Tropical Pressure Festival Review 2025: Family-Friendly Fun in Cornwall

After falling in love with Tropical Pressure Festival in 2024, we couldn’t resist returning for the 2025 edition.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Mount Pleasant Eco Park in Cornwall, this small but vibrant world-music festival quickly became a family favourite for its friendly atmosphere, fully plant-based food offerings, and manageable size.

Adrenalin Quarry Review: The World’s Biggest Aquapark

Last weekend, we visited Adrenalin Quarry Aquapark in Cornwall to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Accompanied by our two children, aged 9 and 12, we embarked on what turned out to be an exhilarating and unforgettable family adventure of splashing, climbing, and sliding.

According to their website, at the time of writing, it is the world’s biggest aquapark. Having found three aquaparks in total across Cornwall when picking where to go, this swayed our decision. Bigger is better, right?!

Our visit left us eager to return, as the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Read on for our honest thoughts on our experience, why we’re keen to return and our recommendations for improvements to the park.
