Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Elephant Fayre was held in the stately home of Port Eliot, St Germans, Cornwall, from 1981 to 1986. A "fayre" in every sense of the word, it featured a host of different types of performances, including mixed media, experimental theatre and rock, punk, folk and reggae music. The first Fayre was tiny, attracting only 1500 or so, but the attendance increased over the years as the organisers booked better known acts, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure and The Fall. Whilst the festival at Port Eliot had built up a reputation as one of the best in the country, with extraordinary acts and the liberal attitude of the organisers, it was alleged the travellers had taken advantage and destroyed the festival. The burning down of the oldest tree in the park, looting of the village surgery and the robbing of stall-holders prompted Lord Eliot and fellow organisers to make the 1986 festival the last.
