Towersey Festival – the UK’s longest-running, independent music festival – has announced that it will stage its final event this August bank holiday (23 to 26 August 2024). And ahead of the 60-year birthday, we’ve put together highlights from recent festivals.
With the same fighting spirit that the family-run Towersey has embraced over the years, they promise that the 60th anniversary of the festival at the 5,000-capacity Claydon Estate in Buckingham will be its best yet – worthy of the occasion and a true celebration of music, culture and community.

Founded by Denis Manners MBE in 1965, five years before Glastonbury opened its gates, Towersey has a long legacy in roots and folk music. For six decades, against a background of profound cultural and societal change, Towersey continued to bring communities together- celebrating traditional dance, culture and creative experiences.
The four-day programme will be packed with opportunities to learn, make, watch and be inspired, including 48 hours of Ceilidh, dance and street theatre, silent discos, comedy, circus skills, storytelling, children’s entertainers, Woodland Classroom, and much more. As well as a celebration of Comments and Comedy with stars from the literary, comedy and podcast worlds.
