A huge thanks to our lead sponsors Parker Bullen Solicitors for their generous support of this charity community event for the last three years

What is WFOFAD?

The Witney Festival of Food and Drink is our annual charitable event showcasing the best of local artisan food and drink producers. 

WFOFAD returns on Saturday 17th May 2025 at the beautiful medieval Saint Mary’s Church, and on Church Green running from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

60+ stalls, street food, live music, family activities, local group displays, and a festival bar & café means a fun day out for food lovers and all the family!

Sponsors make WFOFAD Possible

WFOFAD is made possible by the generous support of local businesses who see this event as an important opportunity to support and engage our local community – and all in a worthy cause.

WFOFAD is organised by the Parish of Witney Reg Charity #1129784. Monies raised by the festival go towards the Parish of Witney, which has responsibility for the maintenance and renewal of St Mary’s so that our town’s ancient House of Prayer can be preserved for future generations
