ABOUT TOWERSEY FESTIVAL :

Towersey Festival is the UK’s longest-running independent festival. Established in 1965 as a one-day event to raise funds for the repair of Towersey Village Hall, the festival has grown to become one of the major arts and music festivals of the year! Previous headliners include The Proclaimers, The Shires, Bellowhead, Big Country and Chas and Dave.

Staying true to its ethos of creating a true community of music, creativity, friendship, and fun, Towersey Festival is very much a family festival, having been run by three generations of the same family (with a fourth in training) since its very first iteration.
