The Cornbury Festival is one of a kind, an eclectic and eccentric musical carnival, a dynamic summer festival disguised as a country fayre, a lovingly crafted, top notch, very English open air party, tailor-made for the whole family. Like the best of England, Cornbury is eccentric, charming and irresistible – a homespun melting pot where music-lovers share pies and a glass of champagne with superstars, toffs, farmers, urbanites, fashionistas, gourmet chefs and the little old ladies who make exceptional cakes. At Cornbury there is something for everyone, an eclectic mix of music across 4 stages, a fantastic childrens area with a complete programme of workshops daily, the best of the festival caterers an extensive range of arts and crafts stalls, roaming entertainers, a fun filled fairground, relaxing therapy and massage zone, a farmers market, the fabulous Disco Shed for those who want to dance their socks off, an exclusive VIP area, beautiful campsites, and above all a magical atmosphere.

Great Tew is set in the heart of the beautiful Cotswold countryside and is often described as one of the prettiest villages in England.
There is some evidence that people lived in the landscape of Great Tew in pre-Roman times but the first clear sign of habitation is during the Roman occupation in the third and fourth centuries when there was an active farm at Beaconsfield.
During the Saxon period, Great Tew acquired the name Ciric Tiwa, or Church Tew. It was held by Aelfric, Abbot of St Albans from 990, who became Archbishop of Canterbury in 995. He left the Estate to St Alban’s Abbey at his death in 1005. After the Norman Conquest, Great Tew was given by William I, to his brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux.
The Estate now belongs to the Johnston family, who have continued to show the same passion and dedication as Major Robb. There is an ongoing schedule of renovation, refurbishment and improvements to the village and surrounding properties. The Estate seeks to promote a happy community and preference within the rental portfolio is given to families that live and/or work locally.
