Wallingford Town Council

Wallingford Town Council is responsible for the town and it's many historical artefacts. The remains of a 954 year old castle which was destroyed by Cromwell after offering sanctuary ands succour to many Royals up to and including King Charles the 1st. Older still are the Saxon Burghs, still visible after 9 centuries. The river Thames that flows around our town is older still and you can still imagine the stories it has to tell as you stroll along the extensive banks. More recently why not visit our 600 year old Town Hall as it sits at the heart of a vibrant and bustling Town Centre with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars, not forgetting our unique Corn Exchange Theatre and Cinema. As a new resident you will enjoy a great sense of community supported by a wide range of clubs and attractions that cover sport at the Hithercroft Sports Trust, art, drama, music, crafts and continuing learning. A great medical practice, secondary school and a number of high quality Primary and mid school options make Wallingford a great town to bring up a family in. If you are in search of a great day out Wallingford has events for all. BunkFest is one of the largest free Folk festivals in Europe hosting up to visitors over one Autumn weekend or RugFest with contemporary bands and a big party atmosphere. Events like Fireworks, the Classic Car rally, Cycle Race, Carnival, Pancake Race or the Christmas Markets and many more make Wallingford the perfect day out and a great place to live.
