In 2024, Towersey Festival Celebrates 60 years of delivering world class music, arts, and culture.

In 60 years, over quarter of a million people have joined us at Towersey.

We’ve recruited and worked with over 10,000 volunteers; booked and programmed over 10,000 artists and events, which, accounting for inflation equates to around £6 million in artists fees.

We have hosted at least two weddings, celebrated countless engagements, and raised a glass to many who have left us including receiving a number of bequests and requests.

We have raised over half a million pounds for charities, funded the artistic development of over 500 artists, launched numerous albums and celebrated a thousand birthdays.

Enough toilet roll has been used to get to the moon and back. 500 miles of cable have been laid and around 100,000 tents have been put up and taken down.

We will celebrate all of this in some very special 60th events which will include:

  • Celebrating through the years with artists from all 6 decades.

  • Bringing back festival favourites from our past like the Towersey Procession, Cartoon Shows, Barn Singarounds and a communal washroom (well maybe not this one!)

  • A 60th Dress Up Day.

  • A 1965 Dance Party.

  • The 60 years Silent Disco.

  • 60th Picnic and Family Finale.

  • The Rubber Soul (Beatles album released in 1965) covers collection.

  • An audio-visual journey through 60 years of festivals.

And more to come….

But, more than all this, the whole festival will be a celebration of our longevity and our vision for the future of this, the oldest independent festival in the UK.

Join us and be part of making 60 years of Towersey.
