Organiser Helen Wright says: 

Join us on Saturday, 19th July for Tribute Music Festival, in the beautiful grounds of Middle Aston House (OX25 5PT) for some toe-tapping, hand-clapping, feel-good festival vibes.

We have a great line up…

If you thought you’d missed Elton John’s final live performance at Glastonbury last year – then you still have time to witness some of the magic (sort of) as he’s coming to “Middle Aston-bury” 2025 in the guise of “Utmost Always Elton”!

Didn’t manage to get your hands on Oasis tickets? Fear not! We’re delighted to bring you the next best thing, as we welcome “Oasus” to play this year. They’re definitely, maybe, one of the best tributes around.

Get ready to defy gravity as our Ariana Grande tribute act is bringing the magic, the high ponytail, and a little bit of Oz to the stage!  

And headlining we are delighted to welcome “Rule the World” who have been recognised as the No. 1 Take That tribute act globally and are former winners of the National Music Tribute Awards. They’re Back for Good to turn your evening into the Greatest Day, with hit after hit that will have you singing along all night. Could It Be Magic? Absolutely. Just be sure to Never Forget this unforgettable show!

Bank Holiday Monday, 25th August: Summer Show

Steeple Aston and Middle Aston Horticultural Society’s Summer Show is on Monday 25th August.

Show Secretary Vicky Clifton writes:

Before you know it, the school summer holidays will be coming to an end…. Hopefully we’ll be looking back on a lovely sunny, but not drought growing season or hosepipe bans meaning no paddling pools for the children. But… that also means you have roughly two months to think about your entries for the show.

It’s open to everyone…. any age… any ability, to have a go at something. Baking, craft, photography, growing sunflowers and more.

This year sees a change! A new challenge! And your chance to create something that will last more than a Bank Holiday weekend. We’ve added two special classes.

  • Photo for the new SAVH 2026 Calender, FRONT COVER no less.
  • Design a logo for our society. This is open to both children and adults. For 133 years
    we’ve lacked a brand so now’s the time. It needs to incorporate what we do, what we
    promote and our heritage as a society of both Steeple Aston and Middle Aston.

There will be a public choice award for these classes and the official winner, voted for by the committee following the show.
More details of these two classes, along with the other classes to enter can be found in our Show Schedule or pick up a paper copy from the village shop from July.

Details of other activities, stalls and games can be found on our soon to be published poster, or follow us on Facebook for more information.
