Cornbury Music Festival Tickets

You've Got a Guy brings you the essentials on Cornbury Music Festival, a beloved open-air event in Oxfordshire with a unique blend of family-friendly charm and rock 'n' roll energy. Originating at Cornbury Park in Charlbury and moving to Great Tew Park in 2011, the festival has been a staple of the UK summer calendar since 2004. Founded by Hugh Phillimore, Cornbury is often described as a quirky, eclectic gathering that welcomes music lovers of all ages. From its roots as a countryside fair to its modern era headliners, Cornbury has become a memorable stop for fans seeking a laid-back, multi-genre festival experience just outside Oxford.

While the festival has hosted iconic moments and celebrity sightings—including David Cameron’s visits in 2008 and 2012—the core of Cornbury remains a community-centered event. Even when schedules shift, the spirit of the weekend stays true: great live music, a welcoming atmosphere, and a touch of British festival whimsy. Note: As of 2025, Cornbury Festival does not list new dates, and Wilderness Festival has taken place at Cornbury Park from July 31 to August 3, 2025, continuing the site's festival legacy in new forms.
