Towersey is a small village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, lying close to the border with Buckinghamshire and a few miles from Thame. It sits in the gently rolling Thame Vale on the lower slopes of the Chilterns, surrounded by farmland and a mix of traditional cottages and more modern homes.
Historically agricultural with a medieval parish church, St Catherine's, the village retains a rural, close‑knit character and is best known for giving its name to the long‑running folk event the Towersey Festival, which brought wider cultural attention to the community. Many residents commute to nearby market towns and to Oxford, while local life still revolves around the church, village hall and occasional farming‑linked events.
