Welcome to Creative Oundle!

Creative Oundle is a charitable organisation based in the historic Northamptonshire town of Oundle that is responsible for delivering a range of community focussed cultural and arts projects in and around the local area. The team are responsible for a year-round programme of events, alongside running Oundle Cinema and the globally acclaimed Oundle for Organists courses, for young organ players from around the world.

A very warm welcome to our website, and to Creative Oundle!

Having lived in the Oundle area for over 30 years, I’ve experienced firsthand the truly rich fabric of the local musical and artistic landscape. It’s therefore an immense privilege to have been elected Chair of Creative Oundle, an organisation which has led the way in this regard for almost forty years.

For us, as for many arts and musical charities, the years since the COVID-19 pandemic have not been easy. However, thanks to the work of our dedicated team members, trustees, volunteers and patrons, we have weathered this storm, and we’re delighted to have expanded our once week-long Festival into a year-round celebration of events, alongside our rejuvenated Cinema, and world-leading courses for young organists.
