Wallingford Blues and Beer Festival is a charity music and beer festival run by local volunteers. Originally started circa 1990 it became an independent festival in 2000 and has since raised over £40,000. All funds have gone towards promoting live music in Wallingford and helping youth development projects in the town and surrounding areas.
Having gained a reputation as one of the best Blues festivals in the UK this town centre venue (in a former cinema) creates a unique atmosphere with its excellent sound quality and unique combination of inside and outside areas. All of which is no doubt helped by regular capacity crowds.
