Fairport Convention’s Cropredy Convention 2020 Postponed Until 2021

Written by Johnson Stephen on April 24, 2020

Fairport Convention announced that their annual music festival, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, has been postponed until August 2021. The move is in response to the continuing Covid-19 outbreak in the UK.

The three-day event had been scheduled to take place on 13-15 August 2020. It will now be staged over 12, 13 and 14 August 2021 (the equivalent weekend) on its usual farmland site in Oxfordshire.

Festival Director Gareth Williams said ”We have no alternative but to postpone Cropredy until 2021. The safety of our festival-goers, performers, suppliers, crew and local residents must come first.”

Tickets purchased for Cropredy 2020 remain valid for the rescheduled festival and Fairport Convention hopes festival-goers will hang on to their tickets for Cropredy 2021. However, the Organisers are of course offering refunds to those affected by the postponement.
