It was initially a way of encouraging new people into the building and showing the potential of the Abbey as a venue for different events. \n\n\n\nOver time\, this event has evolved into a significant community gathering. It provides members of the rural South Oxfordshire community with the chance to create\, participate in\, and enjoy large-scale professional arts events that are typically not accessible in their locale. \n\n\n\nThe organisers raise money across the festival and then share the profits equally between the Abbey and a different local charity every time. It is run entirely by volunteers who take on roles such as organising events\, taking tickets or simply pouring tea. \n\n\n\nSince 2005\, the festival has regularly attracted over 3\,000 people each year\, from followers of the arts to schools\, families and children of all ages and has raised £250\,000 for Dorchester Abbey and local charities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit the festival box office to book your tickets. \n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nDates\, times & prices:Please see individual event lisitings on the box office website for dates\, times and prices.
