Summer Fest, Aylesbury
Jun 21, 2025 - Jun 22, 2025

A two day festival of performance, art, music, food and drink set against the magnificent backdrop of Waddesdon Manor.

Summer Fest is Inspired by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild’s annual garden party – The Barons Treat. Ferdinand also hosted his ‘Saturday to Monday’ houseparties at Waddesdon and the Manor became synonymous with lavish entertaining.

Throughout the day enjoy pop-up theatre & performance, culinary delights, wine tastings and family activities. Experience all Waddesdon has to offer as you roam the grounds and explore the Manor, just as Ferdinand’s guests did in the 19th century.

The North Front has been transformed with flowers, long tables and benches for everyone to enjoy. Have a picnic or take a seat to sample some of the delicious food and drink on offer from one of the handpicked artisan food and drink stalls featured. See a range of extraordinary performances and join in activities for all the family.
