A village pub near Didcot hosted a three-day music festival.

Music fans enjoyed listening to local bands and tribute acts at the Fleur de Lys pub in East Hagbourne from Friday to Sunday (July 21). 

The Style Councillors played Fleur Fest on Friday, Chasing Mumford on Saturday, and The Inflatables on Sunday.

Originally owned by the Lockinge Estate it is thought to have been owned by the Napper family for 142 years before being sold in the 1950s to the Abingdon brewer Morland.

The pub still displays an original Morland Ceramic Painter Plaque, known as "The Artist Fayre" produced by Poole Pottery or associated Carter Tile Works designed by Reginald Bell.

South Oxfordshire's branch of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) chose the Fleur de Lys as their pub of the year in 2019.
