If you’re searching for a festival that blends the energy of live music with the authenticity of British farming culture, Meadow Fest might just be your perfect weekend escape. Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, this boutique festival offers far more than just performances, it’s a celebration of community, sustainability, and countryside heritage.

A Festival with a Difference

Taking place from 1st–3rd May at Rangers Lodge, Cornbury Park in Oxfordshire, Meadow Fest brings together over 40 bands across two stages, creating a vibrant soundtrack for the weekend.
