The 9 day arts festival held every July is a highlight in the region’s cultural diary. A diverse programme of outstanding music, theatre and film is crowned by the hugely popular Party at the Wharf. The Festival brings magnificent performers to a local audience, as well as supporting talented young musicians on the cusp of professional careers. Classical, jazz, folk, choral and pop/rock music, children’s theatre and entertaining films provide broad appeal, with around 20 events during the 9 days. Visit www.oundlefestival.org.uk
