Upton-on-Severn in Worcestershire also hosts an annual folk festival.

Inspiration hard to come by, here ... England is chock-full of just plain Uptons (and Wales and Ireland have at least one each) and sundry Upton-plus-suffix-es, as in the above-bolded. I'll cite another such -- Upton Grey, Hampshire (near Basingstoke): a pretty but allegedly highly snooty village, where only "the best people" can afford to live ...
