 THE VENUE

 

All our events at this year’s festival will be taking place at the beautifully restored St Kenelm’s Church, Church Enstone, OX7 4NN - just 10 minutes’ drive from Chipping Norton, and 25 minutes from Shipston-on-Stour. The train station at Charlbury is just 12 minutes away by car.

The special acoustics, elegant surroundings, and modern facilities make this venue the perfect location for our first season away from Famington Farm, and we know our audiences will love this peaceful and intimate space.  Our e-tickets come with full directions to this beautiful corner of the world, including details of roadside parking available and places to eat and stay while you're in the area.
