Having come of age last year, celebrating its 18th year, Riverside has become a major fixture in Oxfordshire’s music calendar, with more than 30 acts playing across two stages. Despite the cost of putting on an event of this size, it is still entirely free to enter, and that is down to the astonishing community effort that goes into staging the festival.

The event runs from 12.00 pm to 10.00 pm on Saturday 26 July, and 11.00 am to 8.00 pm on Sunday 27 July.
