SUN cream and umbrellas should be on hand as sunshine and showers are forecast for the bank holiday weekend.

This weekend festival-goers will pitch their tents at various events around the county to tune in to live music al fresco for the last time this summer.

But families travelling by car should stay clear of roadworks to the Cutteslowe and Wolvercote roundabouts, as well as temporary traffic lights in Frideswide Square and Hythe Bridge Street.

Those travelling by rail are likely to avoid delays now the engineering works at Oxford station have finished.

The main gig is the Big Feastival, with Alex James flinging open the gates to his immaculately manicured farm today.

Over the course of the festival, revellers will be treated to sets by the likes of Mark Ronson, Tinie Tempah, Kaiser Chiefs, Roisin Murphy, Foxes, DJ Fresh, Reef, Toots & The Maytals, The Proclaimers and Ella Henderson.

Tomorrow, early cloud and showers are forecast, with a yellow weather warning for rain in the early hours.

It will be fresher and less-humid for most, but still warm in the sunshine with a maximum temperature of 26C.

On Saturday there will be sunny spells with a chance of heavy showers later. It will be warm and humid on Sunday with showers predicted. Monday is set to bring some rain.

Tadstock festival will take place at Kencot Hill Farm, Brize Norton, from Saturday to Monday.

A festival on a solar farm with a social conscience and sense of fun, its line-up includes Melbourne’s nine-piece indie-orchestral act Other Animals, Lonnie Donegan’s son Pete, and Jade Henderson from Burford.
