About

Banbury Early Music Festival is entering its second year in September 2025. The festival has something for everyone - early music fans and newcomers alike can come and participate in inspiring workshops, listen to world class concerts, leaf through a myriad of music and try or buy early music ​instruments.

The festival is organised by three passionate early music specialists who aim to bring early music fans of all ages together and provide a performance platform for excellent period musicians.

Join us - Banbury is easy to get to and with good transport links - we're looking forward to seeing you!
