An important update from Charlbury Riverside Festival

First the bad news

I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear that we’re cancelling this year’s Riverside Festival. It was going to be our 25th festival, so that really sucks!

However, the good news is that we had a very successful Riverside last summer with huge support from festival goers and local businesses, so we’re in good shape to put on a great show next year down by the river in Charlbury.

Another piece of good news

Andy Pickard who has run Riverside from the very beginning has been given a High Sheriff of Oxfordshire award in recognition of great and valuable services to the community. As well as pulling together a team of volunteers to organise Riverside every year, Andy organises music and food for many fund-raising events, volunteers at the local school and preschool and takes care of Charlbury’s Shed, a music, comedy and drama venue.

Stay safe,
