The pre-Christmas offer is restricted to three-day tickets (two-day and Saturday- only tickets will not be on sale until 2015). Fairport's Cropredy Convention takes place on Thursday 13, Friday 14 and Saturday 15 August.

The event is staged annually on farmland at Cropredy near Banbury and is Oxfordshire's most popular music festival.

Festival Director Gareth Williams says: "Many of our festival-goers like to give Cropredy tickets as Christmas presents so we're putting three-day tickets on sale in December. And as a bonus, every pack of tickets sent out in December will include a specially designed Christmas card signed by all five members of Fairport Convention and the first two thousand buyers will also get a Cropredy windscreen sticker."

Three-day tickets cost £115 and are exclusively available from Fairport Convention's website: www.fairportconvention.com

The full line-up of artists appearing at Cropredy will be announced in January 2015. Artists already confirmed include Trad Arrr, Dreadzone, Skerryvore, Katzenjammer, The Proclaimers, Fish, Toyah Willcox, Band of Friends, and, of course, Fairport Convention.
