Wolvercote and Wytham Midsummer Festival

The Wolvercote and Wytham Midsummer Festival is a cherished local event that celebrates our vibrant community. We offer a diverse array of activities and events for all ages, ensuring they remain accessible and affordable. Since its inception, the festival has been dedicated to minimizing its environmental impact and promoting sustainability. Our committee is committed to these goals and welcomes suggestions and support from the public to help us achieve them

The Festival is run entirely by volunteers and relies on donations to cover costs. Any surplus is distributed to local groups.

The Wolvercote and Summertown sides entertain on Wolvecote Green 2024

The Festival started in 2003 and has become a celebration of village life with most of our local groups represented throughout one week in June.  In 2010 we were delighted to include neighbouring Wytham in an extended programme.

The events change from year to year but the ethos is to bring together everyone from the community to dance, sing, browse, chat or simply look on at the events that the festival committee puts on under an annual theme. See our constitution.
