Osfest was an annual music festival held at Oswestry Showground, organised by Seventh Sense Management.

History

Plans for the festival were made public in December 2009. ^[1] The first show took place in 2010 and featured headliner Lemar alongside a variety of local and national acts. ^{[2] [3] [4]} In 2014, the festival was postponed until August, reportedly due to difficulty booking acts in May. ^[5] Following the 2014 edition the organisers announced that the festival would not return for 2015 and for the foreseeable future. ^[6]

Location

Osfest was held on the outskirts of the Shropshire market town Oswestry. The showground is host to a variety of farming markets throughout the year, including the Oswestry Show. ^[7]
