Map of area

Cropredy has a unique atmosphere. It's a friendly festival where you can park your car next to your tent and don't need to be concerned about theft (aside from locking your car up!)

Ticket prices are on a three tier scale so that savings can be made by booking early.

Ticket prices:

Date of purchase
3 Day ticket
2 day ticket
1 day ticket
June 15 - July 31 £58 £48 £30
August 1 - pay at gate £60 £50 £32

Tickets can be purchased from here.

There's no camping allowed on the Wednesday evening (August 6) before the festival starts.

Camping per vehicle

3 days
2 days
Saturday only
£15
£10
Free

Bikers and backpackers camp for free.

You need to have a concert ticket for the day that you arrive to camp/caravan. If you plan to arrive on Thusday, you will need to have a three day ticket.

If you plan to camp with others, it's a good idea to meet up with others off-site and arrive together as camping spaces can't be saved.

Each vehicle entering the campsite must have a valid camping ticket and each person in the car must also have a valid concert ticket covering the entire period over which they wish to camp.

You can only get back into the campsite by car or by foot if you can produce either a valid concert ticket or wristband.

Accommodation

Camping on one of the many campsites spread around the site is one of the best ways to see the festival. As the organisers say, a tent helps you to 'connect' with your kindred Cropredy spirits.

There are toilets and showers nearby and food outlets serving food at different times.

If you don't want to camp, there are loads of hotels and 'bed and breakfast' outlets. But, they tend to get booked up early.

Telephone the Banbury Tourist Information Centre on 01295 259 855, Bicester on 01869 369 055 or Cherwell Valley on 01869 345 888.

How to get there

Cropredy village lies a few miles north of Banbury in Oxfordshire.

If you are coming by public transport, you need to get to Banbury train station.

At Banbury station there are regular buses that you can catch to Cropredy Festival.

If arriving by car, take the M40 to the Banbury exit, junction 11, and follow the signs to the Cropredy Festival.

You will then join a queue for parking and camping at Cropredy.
