Celebrate History, Heritage and Culture at the Canal Festival.
Where: Canal Side, Town Centre.
Banbury Canal Festival is back for 2026! Make sure you join us along the canal side and around Town Centre this October for our largest event of the year!
A two-day event along the canal that runs through the very centre of the town, Banbury Canal Festival transforms the centre of town into a vibrant space for all things arts, crafts, culture and entertainment. Celebrating Banbury’s unique and fascinating history with the waterways, explore countless stalls, activities and attractions up and down the canal, as well as at several local establishments such as Tooley’s Boatyard, Castle Quay, and many more.
Banbury Canal Festival is a special celebration organised by Banbury Town Council in collaboration with some of the town’s most important cultural and communal establishments. These include Tooley’s Boatyard, The Mill Arts Centre, Castle Quay Shopping Centre, The Village Butty, Lock.29, Bridge Street Community Garden, and Banbury Museum and Gallery.
What to Expect:
- A celebration of Banbury’s waterways – A crucial part of its history, the canal network that runs through Banbury has served the town since the 1700s. Ever since, it has served businesses, manufacturers and tourists.
- Live music and entertainment – See live theatre from The Mill Arts Centre, while Banbury Music Mix Radio and The Village Butty will be bringing a number of acoustic acts to our stages.
- Food, drink, stalls and games – Partake in a wide range of activities from talks and demonstrations to scavenger hunts, while children can enjoy funfair rides and amusements. Anyone looking for a bite to eat or refreshments will be able to choose from a wide number of food stalls!

I am super delighted to have found this wee shop so I am glad that I kept on scrolling! I purchased some felt bunting made by 'felt so good' and they are just so beautiful. They are ethically made in Nepal which is a big plus as I feel it's good to help develop small community businesses. They are so colourful and I can't wait to show them off! Andrea was simply brilliant and so helpful and I have no hesitation in recommending Just Luv It .

I ordered 3 Aqua bowls for my daughter as we had seen them at the Oakham Fair Trade market last Saturday. They came within 2 days, beautifully packed and shiny. They’re so lovely I am tempted to keep them for myself, but I won’t! Sara B

I was lucky enough to attend a dinner and charity auction at Lamport Hall recently - one of the lovely auction prizes was kindly donated by Just Luv It. The charming wire duck was happily bid for and will grace the garden of the lucky new owners. Northamptonshire Search and Rescue were the nominated charity and their spokes people were incredibly grateful for the donation.

Just Luv It is a small business that produces quality, sustainable products backed by professional, friendly support and prompt online services. This small business offers a fabulous range of luxury gifts, decorations and unusual garden ornaments. I love their bird feeders, and my favourite is the wooden acorn bird house. Simply fabulous!

Fabulous, well made product. I am delighted with my Geese, they really look effective by my pond. I was so pleased with Greta, which I purchased from a local show, I followed up with an online order for Freya. She was dispatched quickly and was very well packed and Andrea was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you very much.

I love all of the eco-friendly gifts at Just Luv It. I recently had to ask for a replacement Glass Windchime, the replacement was made quickly and i also received an extra gift as an apology. I would highly recommend the gifts to anyone and more importantly they are made with green and sustainable materials. Love Just Luv It.

Ordered a Hanging Bird Feeder to replace one that got damaged in the strong winds earlier this year. Superb customer service: ordered late on Saturday afternoon, it was with us on Sunday afternoon. We came across Justluvit at a craft fair a few years ago and having gifted one of their products to some friends, they along with us have become fans. Good to support a company that produces excellent products that are also good for the environment. Happy to give them a big thumbs up.

I absolutely love the products from Just Luv It – they’ve become some of my favourite items around the house. From the moment you open your order, it’s clear how much care and passion has gone into everything Andrea and Howard do. Not only are the products beautiful, practical, and full of charm, but they’re also environmentally friendly, which makes me feel even better about supporting them.
It's rare to find a business that truly lives its values, but Just Luv It does exactly that. They make it easy to choose sustainable without compromising on quality or style. More of us need to get behind local businesses like this – ones that care about the planet, their customers, and the little touches that make a house feel like a home.
Thank you, Andrea and Howard, for creating something so special. Keep doing what you do – we need more of it in the world! 💚
