The 2010 festival, held at the end of July, was widely considered to be the most critically and publicly acclaimed festival yet. Artists and performers included Jakob Dylan, Talvin Singh, Barbara Hulanicki, Grayson Perry, Stephen Jones, Jarvis Cocker and Harper Simon. New acts including the vocal group Fisherman's Friends, the comic performer Wilfredo, and The Book Club Boutique Band also caught the imagination of the Port Eliot audience.
