Organisers of the 23rd Cropredy Festival in Oxfordshire are hoping the rain holds off for the three day folk extravaganza, which kicks off on Thursday , near Banbury.

Up to 20,000 are expected to turn up this year to what started off as a Fairport Convention reunion gig.

Rumours are rife however, that this could be the last Cropredy Festival ever because the organisers are selling up and moving on, so make sure you get tickets.
