Overview
About
Fairport's Cropredy Convention takes place each summer in fields on the edge of the village of Cropredy, Oxfordshire, organised by the band Fairport Convention. Grown out of the band's annual reunion gigs with its audience, it has become a long-running folk rock gathering that pairs veteran acts with newer artists. Children under 12 are admitted free.
