Towersey is a small, rural village in the district of South Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It sits close to the market town of Thame and within easy reach of the Chiltern Hills and larger centres such as Aylesbury and Oxford, giving it a mix of agricultural character and commuter appeal. The village retains a number of historic cottages and a parish church, reflecting medieval origins and a long local history.
Towersey is best known culturally for lending its name to the long‑running folk and roots event, the Towersey Festival, which began in the village in the 1960s and has since grown into a regional fixture held near Thame. Today the community remains quiet and close‑knit, with village hall activities, seasonal events and easy access to walking country, making it typical of small South Oxfordshire settlements that balance heritage, countryside and modern commuting life.
