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).
