The first competitive festival to be held in this beautiful Northamptonshire market town was in 1909. Only wars and COVID have caused a pause. So, we will be celebrating our 108th Festival in 2027.  The pattern of Oundle Festival, held in the Spring, is always changing. What doesn't change is our supportive atmosphere where performers have the opportunity to listen to others and gain valuable, positive feedback from our adjudicators.
