The Festival, which was inspired by the Vicar, the Revd John Ratings, was first held in the summer of 1975 and has been held every other year since.
From relatively modest beginnings, it has become the most wide ranging Wargrave social drawing together the whole village community in two weeks of non stop activities, to which almost all organisations play their parts. It makes an invaluable contribution to the cementing of Wargrave’s esprit de corps.” (From: The Second Book of Wargrave by The Wargrave Local History Society)
For the Wargrave Out Of This World Village Festival this coming June there are 21 different Wargrave village societies, plus the central festival committee, making well over 100 people across the village, who are organising 47 separate events to the people of Wargrave between 12th and 30th June.

The Wargrave Bike Fest is more than just a cycling event - it’s a celebration of cycling, health and wellbeing with something for everyone from the most seasoned cyclist looking to explore new territory and tackle some of the Chiltern's most rewarding climbs, to families wanting to encourage their kids to attempt a longer than normal ride. Refuel back on Mill Green with coffee and cake from H'Artisan followed by a BBQ and beer for lunch!
And if you're not into donning the lycra, there's tons to do back on Mill Green. Come and enjoy a fun, family day of sport, challenges and prizes to be won!
Children 12 and under can purchase their Olympic Passport to take part in challenge stations to earn a stamp and win a prize. Join mini zumba, martial arts, and dance workshops in the marquee, or learn some climbing or circus skills. Under 5s can play to their little heart's content in the dedicated under 5s zone and the children looking for some downtime can chill out in the craft zone.
