Set in the historic Thameside village of Hurley, just outside Henley, the Hurley Music & Arts Festival returns for its second edition following a hugely successful inaugural year in 2024. More than 400 people attended the first festival, and 2026 promises an even richer weekend of music, art, and community celebration.

Events take place in two of Hurley’s most atmospheric heritage buildings:

• ● Monks Barn – a centuries‑old timber-framed barn, home to concerts, the Open Stage day, and daytime refreshments.
• ● St Mary the Virgin Priory Church – an 11th‑century church providing a stunning acoustic setting for evening performances.

What’s On

The 2026 programme features:

• ● Folk band performances
• ● Vocal duets
• ● Young soloists
• ● Brass quintet concerts
• ● Open Stage Day (Saturday 2 May) – half‑hour performance slots for local musicians, choirs, duos, groups, or soloists of any genre
• ● All‑day local art exhibition showcasing artists across styles and mediums

Food & Drink

Festival goers can enjoy:

• ● A licensed bar at all concerts
• ● Post‑concert receptions on Saturday and Sunday evenings
• ● Coffee, tea & cakes served throughout Saturday in Monks Barn
• ● Food and bar service between Saturday afternoon and evening events, provided by the Hurley Village Shop
