Saturday June 20, 2026

The Fantasy Orchestra brings a vibrant musical celebration to Uley in memory of Richard Vernon, one of our founding members, who passed away suddenly four years ago. Richard was also a stalwart of Uley village life and provided expertise and energy in support of many local events.

Featuring wonderous harmonies and inspired arrangements of some of Richard’s favourite film soundtracks by Morricone, John Barry, RD Burman, and others, with rock & pop classics by The Beatles, Bowie and Hendrix and a number of rare to psychedelic treasures. All set in the wonderful Cotswold countryside.

Licensed bar supported by and featuring ales and snacks from our own award winning Uley Brewery. Bar closes at 22.30.

The performance will take place in the open air. Bring your own chair or rug to sit on and a picnic if you need more than just bar snacks.

The evening kicks off with the opportunity to join in some field games followed by an Open Mic slot. The 50 strong Fantasy Orchestra will be performing at their kaleidoscopic best from 19.30.

Tickets: £10 (£7.50 concessions)
