Overton Music Festival: 6th-8th June

Latest update: 7th June 2025

From 6th to 8th June, the heart of our village will be beating to the rhythm of live music, laughter, and community spirit as the Overton Music Festival takes centre stage at the Overton Community Centre!

But this isn’t just a celebration of sound — it’s a rallying cry for support. At a time when our village halls and community spaces are feeling the pinch, this festival is all about shining a spotlight on the places that bring us together — and making sure they stay open, active, and loved for years to come.

With three days of live acts, local talent, family fun, and festival vibes, it’s the perfect excuse to grab your mates, show up, sing loud, and stand proud for Overton.

Come for the music. Stay for the cause. Let’s raise the roof — and raise awareness — for the spaces that matter most.
