Oxstock 2026

9th – 11th October 2026

OCDL aims to build on the positive community dynamic evident in our village through a first ever local weekend festival, focused on music but also involving writers events and visual arts. We plan to bring top quality performers and writers, as well as involve local people in the programme as performers, audience members, volunteers and participants in workshops.
 As a small rural community with limited public transport options there are many in the village and beyond whose opportunities to enjoy high quality music and arts events can be limited. At the heart of the project idea is making such experiences more accessible.
 
Oxstock will be a three day weekend programme and tickets are bookable via the links below:
