What’s on
The Charlbury Saturday Market is held every week from 9.30am to Noon, outside the Charlbury Community Centre.
This year, we’re welcoming the brilliant Gatineau bakery to the market, with a fabulous range of artisan breads and pastries – think ciabatta, multigrain, sourdough, quiches and buttery treats that are hard to resist 🥖🥐 Check them out at www.gatineau.uk.com!
This stall is run entirely by volunteers and all money raised is distributed to local organisations and projects.
We’re also adding some tasty newcomers to the mix:
🧀 A monthly cheese stall
🥄 Homemade chutneys
🌶️ Flavour-packed spice mixes
🫒 Top-quality olive oil
And of course, your trusty favourites are back:
☕ Ground coffee and beans to take home
🍎 The ever-reliable and always delicious fruit & veg from Styan
So come along, bring a bag (or two!), and enjoy the buzz of market day in Charlbury. We can’t wait to see you! 💚

The 2025 Charlbury Beer Festival will take place on Saturday 28 June at Charlbury Cricket Club, from noon till late. There will be around 60 real ales, a variety of craft beers, a range of ciders and perries, wine, gin, and Pimm’s; a great selection of food (including vegan options); tea, cake and soft drinks; live music throughout; the Culture Club tent with its varied programme of performances and talks; children’s entertainment and activities; and high-octane sport with the World Aunt Sally Singles Championships.
All money raised by the Beer Festival is given out to community projects, both in the Charlbury area and overseas. We have now taken our total of funds raised for good causes to around £300,000. There have been donations to over fifty local organisations, ranging from Charlbury Primary School and the town’s Pre-School, to local sports clubs, Charlbury’s Day Centre and Community Centre, and overseas projects in Africa, India, South America and elsewhere.
We must thank those generous sponsors who finance the beers and the entertainment tents, and of course, the beers themselves, plus the many hours that committee members and other volunteers put in. Cheers all round!
Charlbury Cricket Club provides a glorious setting, just across the road from Charlbury Station. There are excellent all-day (including late night) bus and train services to and from Charlbury to Oxford, Chipping Norton, Reading, Witney, Worcester and London, so you don’t even need to drive if you want to have a drink.
To keep up to date with the festival, please visit our website and follow our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
