Festival Parade

Celebrate the opening of the 2026 Festival!

Their wonderful Bandmaster Puppet will return to follow a route through town celebrating music and performance.

She’ll be interacting with performers along the route, before making her way into the Market Square.

They’re working again with the Corn Exchange, Newbury and 101 Outdoor Arts to bring this vibrant celebration to the town centre.

Free event – no ticket required
