The annual music festival, which takes place in Thame on the Oxon/Bucks border, offers visitors a taste of the full Towersey experience with a Festival Green ticket - which can cost as little as £18 for a family of five or more!
On the Festival Green, visitors will find a rolling programme of live bands performing well into the evening, as well as strolling performers and leading international entertainers, including the energetic Zulu Tradition.
There’s also a range of drop-in activities in and around The Creative Quarter, including medieval themed fun (sword making, needle craft, games and puzzles), as well as Circus Skills workshops, Slackline School, giant bubbles, hula hoops and a Storytelling Tent, featuring award-winning storytellers.
A myriad of stalls sell everything from hand-crafted musical instruments to unique jewellery and clothing, while various street food outlets serve everything from Mexican meals to delicious fudge, by way of luscious locally sourced handmade sausages.
Over in the Festival Green’s Main Bar you’ll find 36 real ales and seven ciders, from such acclaimed independent brewers as Oxfordshire’s Hook Norton and White Horse, to Buckinghamshire’s Vale Brewery, Chiltern Brewery, XT Brewing, and Reading’s Loddon Brewery. The ciders, supplied by Scotland’s Thistly Cross, include their popular Whisky Cask Cider and the new Cloudy Special Edition, which receives its British debut at Towersey!
Festival Director Joe Heap said: “A Festival Green ticket offers an affordable and thoroughly entertaining day out for all ages, from seeing some great music acts and sampling our fantastic range of real ale and ciders in the covered bar, to dressing up and face painting for younger visitors.”
Towersey Festival runs from Friday August 25 to Monday August 28 at Thame Showground, Thame, Oxfordshire OX9 3JL. For more details see: www.towerseyfestival.com.
