ABOUT US
Witney Music Festival
Witney Music Festival 2026 is a fantastic two-day open-air music festival for all the family in Witney, Oxfordshire.
Witney Music Festival is delivered in partnership with Witney Town Council.
The festival founder, Stuart Foster, started the event in memory of his sister Jo, who tragically passed away, creating a 2-week program of entertainment throughout the town, engaging with local businesses and musicians to showcase just how amazing the local music scene is.
This festival climaxes with a 2-day greenfield event on The Leys Recreation Ground, Witney.
Can you help!
Have you ever wondered what Witney Music festival cost to put on each year?
Have guess at what you think it costs to hold the festival last year.
£50,000 Nope!
This wouldn’t even cover the main stage, fencing, toilets, and tents around the site.
£80,000 Nope!
This might cover the main stage, fencing, toilets, and tents around the site.
£100,000 Nope But you are getting warmer!
This would cover the main stage, the dance stage, the fencing, and the toilets. But it wouldn’t get you the staffing and the big-name bands.
£150,000+ Yes
Frightening as it sounds, this is the minimum we need to get this event live! The main stage, dance stage, fencing, toilets, staff, the bands, Insurance and all the other little costs we need to get the event running.

£180,000+ this is way its going.
This is likely to cost for next year as costs rise. This year, we can already add another £15k onto last year’s bill.
