Cornbury Festival has been postponed until next year due to the pandemic.
Event organiser Hugh Phillimore said lack of cancellation insurance meant it was “just too scary to attempt it”.
He said: "We just don’t think we’ll be able to produce anything that resembles the lovely little event we’ve all enjoyed for the last 16 years.
"We also can’t risk trying to stage the festival knowing it could still be cancelled at the very last minute by our local authorities – there’s currently no cancellation insurance available and, brave as we are, it’s just too scary to attempt it.
