Wargrave Festival In 2026, we will bring you a celebration to remember! It makes an invaluable contribution to the cementing of Wargrave's esprit de corps."

The Festival, hailing from modest beginnings in the summer of 1975, has grown to offer a staggering array of social and cultural entertainment every other year since. The Festival, which was inspired by the Vicar, the late Revd John Ratings, was first held in the summer of 1975 and has been held every other year since. From relatively modest beginnings, it has become the most wide ranging Wargrave social drawing together the whole village community in two weeks of non stop activities, to which almost all local societies play their part. Please have a look at the events and join us in what is by far the biggest community festival for miles and miles around. You will find there is something for everyone of any age to make the partying truly all inclusive. The committee is enthusiastic and they, as well as the contributing village organisations, are already working very hard to make this one a corker. It has been said many times before: the festival is by the people of Wargrave, for the people of Wargrave. Let's soak up that summer of love feeling this year!

My last Wargrave Festival event was on Sunday afternoon where Mr. Hemmings Traditional Abingdon Morris Dancers and Kaleidoscope were performing at Wargrave Hall.
The event was particularly poignant as Tony Annett's brother, Ray was playing the Concertina with the Morris Dancers and they both lived at Wargrave Hall along with Tony's other brother Rod.
It was a special event in a stunning location overlooking the River Thames as seen in the images -link below
