A riverside gathering of makers, growers, and musicians on the banks of the Great Ouse
Bourton Park has watched over the Great Ouse for generations — a quiet green where the town has always gathered. This festival brings that tradition forward, pairing the hands of today's makers with the stories of those who came before them.
Expect the unhurried pace of a proper market day: the ring of a blacksmith's hammer, the scent of woodsmoke and fresh bread, and folk tunes drifting across the water.
Pottering, picnicking, and hands-on fun for visitors of every age across the day.
Have a go yourself, under the guidance of the artisans demonstrating on the day.
Lawn games and old-fashioned fun set up across the meadow throughout the festival.
