Who doesn't love it?

We've managed to secure exclusive hire of three incredible cliff-top hostels to roll into each evening, with ample space to share stories, cook together 'supper club style', show films and engage in creative conversations. Oh and on arrival into Bedruthan, there's an outdoor, adventurous film festival (included in your ticket, weather permitting!). 

The vibe will be similar to our Ride the Change - Cycle to COP26 except for this time we’re all staying together in beautiful YHAs (exclusively hired for us) so your accommodation and food is SORTED.

We’ll carry the bags (and all your festival gear) as usual.

Tell me more about the Festival...

Goodfest is a Festival of creative conversations exploring how to inspire change through purposeful ideas and actions. The 2-day event will be held at Bedruthan Hotel, perched on the hill overlooking Mawgan Porth on the stunning North Coast of Cornwall.

Mawgan Porth is a little-known but never forgotten village on the rugged coastline of North Cornwall. With spectacular scenery and a phenomenal beachfront, there is no surprise in learning that those who have discovered the raw beauty of Mawgan Porth are reluctant to share!

Midway between Padstow and Newquay, Mawgan Porth is linked to each town via the incomparably gorgeous South West Footpath, connecting visitors to viewpoint hot spots and breathtaking must-sees such as Park Head. It boasts a wide and sandy, west-facing dog friendly beach that gathers impressive Atlantic swells. The surrounding locale includes; the picturesque village of St Mawgan, a tiny untouched cornish ville set in a deep and pretty valley; Trevarrian a traveller's haven, with rental homes and a popular pub, and Trenance, offering the best views of the beach and coastal vista.
