Cornbury on the Move

Great Tew it is then!!

Wherever it is I'd have thought it has to have easy access for plenty of cars, ie not single track roads or two roads which can be used one for vehicles travelling in and one or vehicles leaving. I don't think Ditchley has that.

How about Enstone Airfield (which I think is owned by Great Tew)?

Bear in mind that the freshly designed Cornbury Festival website banner is saying "near Charlbury". I suspect that rules out Great Tew, but Kiddington I could believe.

what about ditchley park.

Thu 14 Oct 2010, 13:12

heard rumours of Kiddington Estate mentioned

Alison Thats a good shout

I doubt that it is Heythrop as since they have had their leisure centre revamped and made the golf course they wouldn't even entertain 'The Race for Life' last year. My money is on Great Tew Estate.

Using Charlbury station 12 minutes away must be Heythrop park

Having just watched the interview with Hugh on WitneyTV, it appears he didn't have much choice - Cornbury Park have signed a deal with HMV to put on another festival, and for Hugh to be part of that, it would have meant losing most of his team and seeing the ethos of what he has created disappear. I for one don't blame him for his decision and listening to the inteview, feel that the Festival will continue to grow and thrive in a new home, with consideration being giving to those Charlbury residents through the provision of a shuttle bus service from the station.

Why has he done it?

Wed 6 Oct 2010, 10:56

Ive watched witney tv hes not saying where it is only that its 12 to 15 mins away fro charlbury station and why hes done it which i agree with him.

Tue 5 Oct 2010, 15:22

If you watch witney tv later today there is an interview with hugh about the festival witneytv.co.uk

I heard a rumour earlier in the summer that Cornbury Park was going to be sold. That might be the real reason that the festival is moving.

Ditchley Park is not far away wonder if that's a possibility or even Rangers Lodge which I believe is close to camping site.

Hope the Charlbury school CSA tea and cake marquee (spelling ... marquee?) is OK, it is a life saver for the school (says he with vested interest!).

maybe heythrope park. or maybe hes coming to finstock as hes see how fantastic the festival is.

10 mins drive further from harlbury - which makes walking from the town / station hard...hope he puts on a proper shuttle bus, at leasty from the station.

Not unless Blenheim can be described as "....deeper in the countryside......"

Thu 30 Sep 2010, 18:30

Or has he upgraded to Blenheim?

So where is the festival moving to? Hugh says 10 minutes down the road - is that 10 minutes walk or drive?
Is he planning to merge with The Riverside? :-) Perhaps he has seen how successful we have been locally....or could he be merging with the Beer Festival - another great example of how to run events so well!
Has he had a bust up with Lord and Lady Rotherwick or something?
Any other speculation or rumour flying around?
