Kingsey is a small rural village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, close to the county boundary with Oxfordshire. It sits among the rolling farmland between Thame and Haddenham in the Aylesbury Vale area, its lanes, traditional cottages and farmsteads giving it a distinctly agricultural feel.
The village has medieval roots and a lively community life, best known locally for the annual Kingsey Show, a one‑day agricultural event that draws farmers, breeders and craft stalls from the surrounding countryside. Economically it remains tied to farming while also functioning as a commuter base for people working in Oxford and Aylesbury, so the place combines longstanding rural traditions with modern residential life.
