Cornbury Music Festival 2011 moves home

After seven years at Cornbury Park, festival organisers of Cornbury Music Festival have revealed that the festival will move to a new location about 10 minutes down the road.

As well as moving from Cornbury Park, Charlbury, in Oxfordshire the family-friendly music festival will take place over three days in 2011 from Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd July 2011.

Festival organisers have released the following statement:

"For reasons too boring to go into we're excited to tell you that our beloved little Cornbury Festival is moving to a new site about 10 minutes down the road.

After 7 lovely years at Cornbury Park the time has come for us to head to pastures new. Our new site is more beautiful, deeper in the countryside and we think an even better place to produce Cornbury.

There may be other reasons connected to resisting a corporate takeover but obviously we couldn't possibly comment - suffice to say we've worked long and hard for 8 years to create what we think is a truly unique event and I'm afraid we're mad enough to want to protect its independence.

As usual we're planning to go on sale with an earlybird ticket offer in December when we'll be revealing our new location."

In addition to the music, expect the festival to return offering a variety of attractions including a fairground, Morris dance pageants, children's theatre workshops, theatre workshops, arts and crafts, speciality shops, novelty acts and upmarket catering offering everything from champagne and cappuccinos to real ale.
