Most events are free - you only need purchase tickets for the boat trips, train trips, workshops and also for camping. See the Tickets page for details. Throughout the weekend volunteers will be going round the festival with collecting boxes to help us keep the many free BunkFest events happening. Please give generously, thanks!
This year, BunkFest continues what has worked well while introducing some necessary improvements, in particular, moving the main stage to the south end of the KineCroft so as to provide a larger and safer viewing area. We are keeping the same stage and the same flooring in front of the stage. We are bringing in a larger and more focused sound system so that those on the KineCroft will hear the music better but with less overspill to the surrounding areas. Festival Vision will continue to provide video screens.
Headline acts on the main stage include: Oysterband, ahab, Gordie McKeeman and His Rhythm Boys, The Albion Band, Tarras and Peter Knight's Gigspanner. The main stage will feature dance acts on the Saturday and Sunday afternoon and also the popular Family Ceilidh on Saturday plus top local bands.
As usual, BunkFest is working with venues around the town to provide live music during the weekend. Saturday will see the Market Place closed to traffic to allow free pedestrian access to popular festival activities including Morris Dancers, street entertainers and the street fair.
Wallingford BunkFest is a volunteer run, not-for-profit organisation working for the benefit of the local community.
