Banbury Canal Festival in October

ONCE again Banbury will celebrate its historic canal through its Canal Festival.

On Saturday 5th and Sunday the 6th of October the event will showcase the canal's integral role in the town’s growth, fostering goods, trade, and generating jobs and wealth since its establishment in 1778.

On and off water

Organised by Banbury Town Council, the Canal Festival is a free event with fun both on and off the water. The two days waterside extravaganza will feature floating markets, fairground attractions, arts performances, music, comedy and theatre, making it a fun-packed weekend for all the family.

The Canal Festival will open each day at 11am and run until 5pm.  The photograph shows a previous festival.
