About and
HanFEST is a non-for-profit community event, held twice a year in Hanwell village near Banbury, Oxfordshire. The event is organised by a group of residents living in the village. The aim of HanFEST is to create fun and memorable moments for those living in Hanwell, it's neighbouring villages and of course everyone who comes and visits!
HanFEST takes place in the summer and its sister Christmas event HanFESTIVE takes place late November inside St Peter's Church. We work with the Parish Council, St Peter's Church and the Village Hall to create a real buzz in the village!
