Towersey Festival 2024

This major folk arts festival, returns for its 60th anniversary to the Claydon Estate, near Buckingham on the Bank Holiday weekend of Friday 23rd to Monday 26th August 2024

Towersey has developed in the last few years from a very folky event into a more eclectic festival with a fair amount of World and broader acoustic music, singer songwriters stage, poetry, street theatre etc.

Unfortunately, due to economic and financial challenges, Towersey is facing the very sad prospect of ending after this year's festival, its 60th year, and are closing this chapter with the ultimate celebration: Towersey 2024 will be one hell of a party!
