Celebrate 16 Years of Cornbury Music Festival with The Beach Boys. Early Bird Tickets Available Now.

I am beyond excited! After popping my festival cherry last year at The Cornbury Music Festival at Great Tew I cannot wait to return to this fantastic family friendly festival and I've just found out that rock legends, The Beach Boys, will bring a Californian vibe to the Cotswolds next summer topping the bill on the final day of the 16th anniversary of the event.

The Beach Boys coming to Cornbury Music Festival



The Beach Boys are sure to be a huge crowd puller for what has been dubbed England’s most elegant music festival; their unique sound has made them one of the world’s most successful acts, selling in excess of 100 million records since they formed in the 1960s.

‘There are certain legacy artists that we’ve been after for many years’, says Cornbury organiser Hugh Phillimore ‘finally our number got called by The Beach Boys. We’re completely thrilled to welcome them to Oxfordshire’.

Early bird tickets
Discounted weekend early bird tickets are now available; but festival goers will need to be quick to grab a bargain, as they are only onsale until midnight on Sunday 9 December. Day tickets go on sale early in the New Year when the rest of the line-up will be revealed.

Cornbury Music Festival is a lovingly crafted, top-notch open-air party held in the stunningly beautiful Great Tew Park near Chipping Norton in the heart of the Cotswolds. It’s a unique hybrid of premium music festival and quintessentially English village fete. There is always something for everyone with a fantastic line-up over four stages, a comedy stage, fantastic food offerings, a creative kids zone, a traditional funfair, an exclusive VIP area and beautiful campsites nestled in the estate’s rolling hills.


As I noted in my review, the Festival is very much a family affair. The Kids’ Zone is right in the middle of the festival, in sight of the main stage, so families can drop in and out whilst seeing all the festival highlights; and, unlike other festivals, all activities are free with something for all ages on the go all the time. Entrance for under-threes (and disabled carers) is free, and quieter camping options are at the same price as general camping tickets.

Cornbury Music Festival runs from 5-7 July at Great Tew Park, near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. For tickets and more information go to cornburyfestival.com
