The Great Barn Festival offers a perfect combination of events to keep adults, families and children of all ages entertained.

The Great Barn Festival is a family friendly event celebrating the best of music, theatre, art, and nature in an ancient rural setting.

Set in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, the Great Barn in Coxwell was built over 700 years ago. It was a favourite of William Morris who would regularly bring his guests to wonder at its structure. Morris called it ‘unapproachable in its dignity’.

Music from the best home-grown talent and international musicians combines with some of the best local community groups and choirs. Take your seat for performances from Dan Sealey from Ocean Colour Scene and Merseyside hero Ian Prowse & Amsterdam.

Listen to storytellers and watch roaming performers throughout the day. Entertainment includes family performances of The Tempest and Robin Hood as well as the return of the Three Inch Fools with The Secret Diary of Henry VIII. Get involved in circus skills, a silent disco and craft in the Children’s Tent. There’s also pond dipping and barn tours to enjoy with The National Trust.

Tuck into some fabulous food with a cold drink and settle in to enjoy music or theatre set against one of the most impressive Festival backdrops around!
