About WATERPERRY HOUSE
WATERPERRY HOUSE is a grassroots music venue in Wheatley, Oxford. Bring your own PA, mics and instruments.
WATERPERRY HOUSE books Opera, Classical, Theatre acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Oxford venue directory.
Waterperry House is a Grade II Georgian country house (Queen Anne frontage rebuilt 1713 by Sir John Curson) set in 83 acres about seven miles east of Oxford (OX33). Now run by the School of Philosophy and Economic Science as a residential study centre, it also serves as an events and hospitality venue with a ballroom, library and dining rooms. The wider Waterperry estate — house plus its renowned ornamental gardens — hosts the annual Waterperry Opera Festival and summer outdoor theatre and concerts in an open-air garden amphitheatre. Live music here is seasonal and concentrated on the opera festival and summer concert series rather than a year-round gig calendar.
