After hundreds of requests from festival goers, musicians, agents and sponsors, Cornbury Festival organiser Hugh Phillimore has announced that the music festival held in Great Tew will return next year.

Last summers festival had been billed as the final farewell as Bryan Adams, Kaiser Chiefs, The Pretenders and Jools Holland among others graced the main stage in front of sell out crowds.

Dismayed by the potential gap in their festival calendars, a wave of support ensued as local media and public alike badgered events founder and organiser Hugh Phillimore, not to give up the challenge after 14 years, but to continue this unique weekend.

Mr Phillimore said: “So many people have sent messages since July - our audience love the event and want it to keep going. Literally hundreds of our supporters, together with bands, agents, managers, sponsors and media partners telling me I shouldn’t let such a jewel in the festival calendar end.
