Fairport's Cropredy Convention 2026

Fairport Convention's annual folk-rock festival on the edge of a small Oxfordshire village — three days of folk royalty headlined by Fairport themselves, set in fields by the Oxford Canal.

About

Cropredy is the friendliest of Britain's medium-sized music festivals — three days, one stage, capped capacity, no clashing acts to choose between. Fairport Convention has run it from a farm on the edge of Cropredy village since 1976; their own Saturday-night closing set is the festival's traditional climax.

The 2026 line-up includes Richard Thompson with Zara Phillips and former Fairport bandmates, Soft Machine, Turin Brakes, Danny & The Champions Of The World, Breabach and Le Vent Du Nord. Three-day tickets (camping included) are £240; ticketing through the Fairport Convention website and AXS.
