GOOD FOOD, GOOD MUSIC, GOOD VIBES

BIG OLNEY FOOD FESTIVAL

This 3 day food, music and comedy spectacular is organised by the volunteer group Olney Events. More a street party than a food festival it is a lovely event that raises funds for local charities.
No, the event is free to enter (apart from Friday night comedy, for which you will need tickets). The event is funded by the proceeds from the bar and our lovely sponsors. All we ask is that you don’t bring in your own food and drink. Thank You.
Watch this space, there will be contact details to follow very soon.

OUR FOOD TRADERS

You won’t go hungry and you’ll be spoilt for choice. Burgers, wraps, Indian, Greek, Mexican, South African, you name it, we’ve got it.

Would you like to sponsor us next year?

 

We are a not for profit event. It costs a substantial amount to run the event, and on a good year, we are self-funding. Any profit that the event makes goes to charity. The more sponsorship we get, the more we can achieve and the more we can raise for our designated charities.

This year, our event is proud to support Willen Hospice, a dedicated local charity providing compassionate, specialist care to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses across Milton Keynes. Willen Hospice offers invaluable medical support, pain management, and emotional guidance completely free of charge, ensuring patients spend their time in comfort and dignity. Their vital services extend beyond the hospice walls directly into patient homes, alongside essential counseling and grief support for families. Because they rely heavily on community donations to run, every penny raised through our event helps them continue this crucial work. Thank you for making a difference.
