Waddesdon Manor Summer Fest 2025
21 June - 22 June
A two day festival of performance, art, music, food and drink set against the magnificent backdrop of Waddesdon Manor.
Summer Fest is Inspired by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild’s annual garden party – The Baron’s Treat. Ferdinand also hosted his ‘Saturday to Monday’ house parties at Waddesdon and the Manor became synonymous with lavish entertaining.
Throughout the grounds, extraordinary performing artists and musicians from around the UK will entertain all day long. From strolling bands to tea dances to giant lobsters.
Motionhouse Circus Dance Company
A highlight of this year is a spectacular performance by circus dance company Motionhouse, who bring their internationally acclaimed festival creation WILD to Waddesdon for the first time.
Ragroof Tea Dance
Step into a world of vintage elegance as the Ragroof Tea Dance waltzes its way to Waddesdon. Don your finest vintage attire and your dancing shoes for an afternoon of pure dancefloor bliss!
Mr Wilson’s Second Liners
A rabble of mischievous northerners, Mr Wilson’s Second Liners form a traditional New Orleans Second Line. The vision is an anarchic, street extravaganza, bursting with colour and sound.
The Charlalas
With themed costumes and bubble blowing props, The Charlalas share songs, smiles, serenades and sweet treats.
