St Endellion Summer Music Festival runs from Tuesday 27 July to Friday 6 August 2027. The trust publishes that range on its own summer festival page, so the dates come from the organiser rather than the annual pattern.
The 2026 festival ran from 28 July to 7 August under Paul Daniel, his first summer as artistic director. It marked fifty years since Benjamin Britten’s death with a premiere of Daniel’s new version of the War Requiem, arranged by agreement with Boosey and Hawkes for a single orchestra and the full Festival Chorus, and staged three performances of Puccini’s Turandot for the centenary of the opera’s first performance.
No detailed 2027 programme has been published yet. The trust announces works and artists across the spring, and labels its outline provisional until close to the festival.
Visitor information

Venue: Collegiate Church of St Endellion, near Port Isaac.
Tickets: Through the trust’s own box office. Booking for a summer festival has opened in early July in recent years. There is no single price across the festival - individual concerts, operas and choral services are priced separately.

The church hosts multiple performances across eleven days. Use the stated start time for the concert you are attending rather than treating the festival as one continuous event.
Where to stay
The festival fills local accommodation across its eleven days, and the 2027 dates again fall in the school summer holidays. Port Isaac is the nearest featured destination, about three miles from the church. Browse places to stay near Port Isaac.
