Chipping Norton – a town of 10 festivals. The town, often referred to as ‘the gateway to the Cotswolds’, and its surrounding areas have become a hub of creativity attracting many from the capital to purchase a property as a weekend retreat or as a permanent home.
ChipLitFest, a renowned literary festival featuring award-winning and bestselling authors, is currently taking place (21-24 April) with more festivals planned for the rest of the year including the town festival in June; the Wilderness Festival at Cornbury Park in August; The Big Feastival in Kingham in August co-hosted by TV chef Jamie Oliver; and Chippy Jazz and Music in September. The popular Daylesford organic farm and members’ club Soho Farmhouse attracts both locals and visitors alike.
It is easy to understand why Chipping Norton has been previously named one of the best towns in Britain and nearby Kingham has been voted one of the best villages in Oxfordshire. Home-movers looking for a better quality of life come here as they can still access the capital via a direct train link from Kingham. The trend is also for buyers to purchase second homes to enjoy the culture and countryside.
