Everyone is really looking forward to getting out and doing more this year. We've seeing unprecedented demand for the event this year and have opened advance booking. We highly recommend everyone book their tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. We cannot permit entry once we're at capacity and will have to close the gates. You definitely don't want to be standing outside longingly staring at everyone drinking beer and dancing!
The festival will be open 12:00pm to 8:00pm.
We are aiming to freeze pricing at 2025 levels if at all possible and will confirm over the next few months.
Adults: £10 pre-sales | On the day ticket costs to be announced on the day
Under 18s: Free | A ticket is required for each child
Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a ticketed adult at all times. See our full Terms & Conditions for further information.
To reduce queues, we are asking everyone to please bring some form of a card or contactless payment with them. More time drinking, less time queueing!
We are not operating a token system this year, all vendors will be accepting cards. An optional £1 donation will be added to purchases. Thank you for your generous continued support!
We're at our new home again this year at the Magdalen College School St. John's Site in the middle of town. For those familiar with the Brackley Carnival or Mercedes Patronas F1 Team fireworks, this is the same site as these events. To prevent congestion in the town centre, please walk to the event where possible or drop passengers off nearby as parking is very limited.

We have fantastic local vendors providing a big variety of amazing hot food, drinks and ice cream. There will be limited water available but please do plan ahead and bring your own as when it's gone, well it's gone. You are welcome to bring your own soft drinks but only alcohol purchased at the official festival bar is allowed. No glass vessels or containers are permitted on site, these will be confiscated, please decant these into plastic vessels prior to arrival.
Each year more parties bring gazebos to the festival, some are very fancy and turn the event into a smart garden party! While these provide welcome shade, they do provide a safety risk if not anchored down and people trip over the guy lines. We will have to limit number and restrict them to the marked area this year. Please don't be disappointed if the volunteers have to turn your gazebo away or if adverse weather conditions mean we cannot allow them to be erected.
It will take the government telling us we can't go ahead or a serious natural disaster, but we will refund tickets if the event cannot go ahead. If it's raining we'll still go ahead so bring an umbrella or enjoy the summer temperature relief while you dance in the rain. Tickets are transferable between people so your friends can buy your tickets if you can't make it, just send them to email with your tickets attached.
