Published on August 8, 2025October 17, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

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.

This year, we found the festival to be very similar to last year — and that’s a big part of its charm.

The familiar layout, activities, and overall vibe made it feel instantly welcoming.

In this review, I’ll share what Tropical Pressure is all about, what’s changed (and stayed the same) since last year, and why it remains one of our must-attend summer events.

If you’re thinking about going for the first time, this will give you a taste of what to expect.

The Tropical Pressure Festival, set against the picturesque backdrop of Porthtowan and the rolling Cornish countryside at Mount Pleasant Eco Park in Cornwall, is a vibrant celebration of global music, arts, and culture.

Held annually, this festival has carved out a niche for itself by showcasing an eclectic mix of world music genres, creating a melting pot of sounds and rhythms that captivate attendees from across the UK and beyond.

We attended this brilliant festival held between July 12th and 14th 2024 as a family of four (the children were 9 years old and 12 years old). It was a vibrant mix of cultures, infectious music, and sunshine. You could immerse yourself in global music, delicious food, and a truly inclusive atmosphere.

Read on to explore my many colourful photos showcasing the festival, our honest thoughts as a family of four and a few videos to hear a sample of the types of music you can expect.

Enjoy!
