Astonbury - The Event

Astonbury is a village open-air music festival for the whole family. All of the performers and background team are from Aston Abbotts, or associated with Aston Abbotts or the local area in some way

It all started in 1999 as fulfilling a dream to do an open air concert. Initially we had some 110 people turn up on a damp wet night but since then the weather has been great with numbers now up to just under 500.

Astonbury 2009 took place on July 18th 2009 on the recreation ground in Aston Abbotts, Bucks. Donations from the proceeds were made to Muscular Dystrophy and the Church of Christ in Aylesbury, with the remainder being retained for village projects.

Astonbury is a fun show for local talent, their family and friends.

It is a remarkable thing that there is a cluster of musical talent centred on Aston Abbotts and we have been able to develop, expose and enjoy these talents over the years.

Quite a number have either been knocking on the door of fame or have their own bands and appear in quite a wide area. The whole thing is run by a small team of eccentrics who look after everything from music, show design, set and stage, lights , electrics and sound.
