Banbury Hobby Horse Festival

This takes place at the beginning of July each year, and is a gathering, not just of Hobby Horses, but other Beasts as well. Based in and around Banbury, we start on the Friday with an informal get-together. On Saturday there are tours around Banbury, usually with some visiting morris sides. On Sunday, we join in on the Banbury Civic Parade to the People's Park, where we join in the fun - and can even join in the famous Hobby Horse Race!

Cost of the weekend is minimal: it is basically self catering, a Feast at the Town Hall is organised on the Saturday evening. Free (basic) camping is at St Mary's Primary School; if you want something a little more star rated, then try Bo-Peep camping site at Adderbury, or even one of the hotels and guest housese in the town.
