Win tickets to Fairport’s Cropredy Convention

We have two lots of tickets to give away worth over £400

The world-famous festival in Cropredy grew out of the village’s fete. Folk-rock band Fairport Convention played at fundraisers for the village during the 1970s in the gardens of Prescott Manor, the home of former Labour government minister Dick Crossman.

By 1977 the band was putting on its own show on farm land – marking its introduction as a ‘proper’ festival. Now, more than 40 years later the festival returns to Cropredy, five miles north of Banbury in Oxfordshire, on August 9-11 with a stellar line-up including Fairport Convention themselves, Kate Rusby, Levellers, Afro-Celt Sound System, BBC Young Folk Award Winner Mera Royle, Richard Digance and Beach Boys frontman Brian Wilson presenting Pet Sounds.

For full festival details see fairportconvention.com.

We’ve teamed up with Fairport’s Cropredy Convention to offer two fantastic prizes:

Our first winner will bag a family pack of tickets including two adult three-day tickets worth £135 each, with a weekend camping pass worth £45 and up to three under 12 child tickets. And the runner-up will win a pair of adult Saturday-only day tickets, worth £75 each.
