Something Wild Festival - Hope Cove, Devon

Something Wild Festival is a multi day outdoor event held on a farm field site overlooking Hope Cove, Kingsbridge, Devon. The festival centres on coastal and countryside trail running routes that include sections of the South West Coast Path and views across the Avon and Salcombe estuaries.

The site contains a separate camp village and festival village. The campsite accommodates up to 100 tents, offers parking and is suitable for camper vans. Onsite facilities include extra compost toilets, warm showers and two venues for speakers and evening music. A cafe and bar on site sells locally brewed beer, non alcoholic drinks, vodka, gin and cocktails. Communal meals and fireside live music are programmed in the evenings.

Events span a range of distances and formats, including night runs, road and trail distances, swim runs and a sea swim at South Milton Sands near Thurlestone car park. There are also children’s races, local food and movement sessions such as yoga, massage and functional movement classes. A forest school runs on Saturday and Sunday with separate tickets or as part of weekender camping tickets for families. Organisers plan to add further FAQs and event details in the lead up to the festival.
