See Oundle

Come Alive

26th June – 5th July 2026

Oundle Fringe Festival

For over a week in mid-summer the Oundle Fringe Festival sees our beautiful market town thronged with musicians, artists and entertainers of all kinds.

In the local streets, cafes, pubs and hotels you will find everything, from tribute bands to poetry readings and musical theatre favourites, sublime jazz, blues and folk to thumping rock, and high energy bluegrass and Americana to classical music, a Regency tea dance, plus swirling, kicking, clicking dance teams, and exhibitions featuring original work by local artists.

There are over 50 events to choose from and almost everything is free. Keep an eye on this website and our Facebook and Instagram pages for updates.

We very much look forward to welcoming you this summer.

You will be richly entertained!
