Styan family produce will be back with their stall this Saturday the 31st January, as usual, outside the Community Centre between 9am & Noon.
Alongside the familiar potatoes, onions, eggs & juices, this week there are kalettes, also known as flower sprouts, that don't taste like sprouts, but have a fine taste and tender texture. When steamed, they make a nice base for cheesy scrambled egg for a quick lunch.
Look out for cavolo nero, parsnips and eating apples too this week.
Seville oranges should also be available.
In addition this week, we have Padstow Fish on site too. Here's how Padstow describe their offering on their website.
We are a family business based in Cheltenham but connected to Padstow through family. Our fish is sourced fresh from Cornish suppliers and we pride ourselves on supplying diverse selection of fish and seafood. We do not hold stock so you can guarantee your fish is the freshest it can be.
Advance notice too for the Monthly market on the 1st Saturday of February, with Styan, Padstow Fish and Primal Meats. Sadly, Wheymore cheese can't be with us this month but they'll return soon.
We hope to see you there.

ART AND ILLUSION
John Bennett will talk about some of the ways in which we can look at art taking inspiration from Gombrich's seminal work Art and Illusion.
The talk will look at optical illusions to note the importance of cognition in the act of seeing. This will then provide an excuse for a tour through the history of European painting and sculpture to see how Gombrich's ideas might illuminate art history, and to see how a range of artists have dealt with the perennial conundrum of presenting a three dimensional world on a two dimensional surface.

A informal “planning meeting" is proposed at the Rose & Crown in Charlbury on Tuesday 17th February 8pm to 9pm where more will be explained. All are welcome.
The first event itself will be on Tuesday 14th April at 3pm and initially on a weekly basis . We hope to use 3 pitches i.e. 12 people playing for a 45/60 minutes. As numbers grow Wednesday and Thursday will follow. The club will offer the two forms of the game, Golf (where to start) and the more sophisticated Association Rules.
There will be no Match Charge, but Members will need to be members of the u3a (£20 pa) and soon join the Cricket Club as a Social Member (£30 pa) after a trial period.
What we need now is equipment to be donated or loaned please.
Help is also needed now to record (perhaps collect) and replenish the old equipment which will be stored by the Cricket Club. We may have to buy some bits of equipment, but it is likely that the Cricket Club will help.
Down the line we want to make sure there are enough previous players to coach and explain the rules!

Oxfordshire County Council has programmed to complete the full width resurfacing of Dyers Hill on Tuesday 17th February; 0730 – 19:00hrs via a single daytime full road closure. This will include the closing of Thames Street at the top of the hill as well. Works will include ironwork adjustments and the resurfacing of the existing carriageway surface, following which all existing road markings will be reinstated.
As well as Dyers Hill itself, the resurfacing works include the junction area of both Market Street and Thames Street which will therefore also be fully closed. No vehicular access will be possible south of Nine Acres Lane and Market Street will become a cul-de-sac with the single point of access/egress via the junction with Sheep St / Church St.
The One-Way restriction in Market Street has been formally suspended for the works duration. Traffic management operatives will cover all signage relating to the restriction and be on hand to assist with providing vehicular access. Market Street will not be a through route.
There will be no vehicular access along Dyers Hill, Thames Street or through from Market Street during the works. Pedestrian access remains unaffected with residents being able to walk down to the railway station if required.
This is purely a maintenance scheme so currently everything will be reinstated ‘like for like’. A fully signed diversion will be installed routing traffic around the closure during the working hours.
A copy of the approved letter has also been attached which will arrive with businesses and residents two weeks prior to work starting.
Bus services will run as usual through Charlbury as they don’t utilise Dyers Hill / Thames Street as part of their regular scheduled services.

This is the third in a series of talks for Lent held in St Mary's parish church on Tuesdays at 7.30pm. The theme of the series is 'moved by love'.
The speaker on 10 March is Professor Mark Chapman known to some of us as the priest who often starts the Levellers Day in Burford by re-telling the story of the three soldiers executed on Oliver Cromwell’s orders in Burford churchyard in 1649. They belonged to a movement popularly known as the Levellers, with beliefs in civil rights and religious tolerance.
Mark Chapman is Professor of the History of Modern Theology at the University of Oxford and Distinguished Fellow of Ripon College Cuddesdon where he taught for 32 years. He has written widely on many aspects of modern church history and theology and is the author and editor of over 30 books. He is now enjoying semi-retirement in Pershore.
This talk addresses the question of the living out the radical justice demanded by the Gospel in relation to love for the poor. It takes as its example the life and work of one of the most interesting slum priests of the late nineteenth century, Fr Robert Dolling of Portsmouth. It contrasts his method of sharing a common life with the destitute of his parish with the 'benevolent picknicking' of the settlement movement, which nurtured many of the architects of the Welfare State. It also looks at some of the later forays by the church into issues of social justice, before offering a few reflections for the future.
Doors open at 7pm. Admission free. Donations towards expenses and Christian Aid. Everyone is welcome.

Patrick was a History teacher before becoming Head Master of Solihull School (1996), Rugby School (2001) and Westminster School (2014).
His own life was transformed by educational opportunity and passionate about widening access, Patrick set up the Arnold Foundation for Rugby School, which provides a boarding education at Rugby to disadvantaged children and was instrumental in setting up the Royal National Children's Spring Board Foundation, a national charity closely modelled on the Arnold Foundation.
In his "second career" he is involved in a number of projects including working with Crucible in Sub-Saharan Africa and The Alsama Project based in the Shatila Refugee Camp in Beirut. He is quoted by Alsama as saying: "Of all the projects that I have been involved with, this is the one that has the potential to make the greatest difference".
His talk will be a reflection on the transformational power of education.
Doors open at 7pm. Admission free. Donations will be welcome towards expenses and for Christian Aid. Everyone is welcome.

Ann Lowe will share her passion for textiles and show some of the wonderful textile art she has made.
During a forty plus year career in the NHS, textiles, in many guises, played an important part in Ann's life as a hobby and stress reducer.
A skilled stitcher, both by hand and machine free motion, Ann has developed a special enjoyment in designing her own pieces. These range from useable craft objects to wall hangings, both large and small and include a variety of fabrics and threads, many of which are dyed and printed by her. Creating textural surfaces plays an important role in her work.

Illustrator and artist-reporter George Butler reports from conflict zones, climate hotspots and humanitarian crises, using pen, ink and watercolour to tell deeply human stories that go beyond the headlines.
In an age of Generative AI and relentless digital news, artist and reporter George offers a powerful alternative: slowing down to truly see.
Through hand-drawn reportage from Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Angola, and Gaza, George shares extraordinary human stories that never reached the front pages — stories that bring depth, context, and empathy to most significant events of this century.
This visually rich, thought-provoking talk challenges audiences to look beyond headlines and photography, and to view the world through an artist’s eyes: with empathy, compassion, and creativity.

The 2026 Charlbury Beer Festival will take place on Saturday 27 June at Charlbury Cricket Club, from noon till late. There will be around 60 real ales, a variety of craft beers, a range of ciders and perries, wine, gin, and Pimm’s; a great selection of food (including vegan options); tea, cake and soft drinks; live music throughout; the Culture Club tent with its varied programme of performances and talks; children’s entertainment and activities; and high-octane sport with the World Aunt Sally Singles Championships.
All money raised by the Beer Festival is given out to community projects, both in the Charlbury area and overseas. We have now taken our total of funds raised for good causes to around £330,000. There have been donations to over fifty local organisations, ranging from Charlbury Primary School and the town’s Pre-School, to local sports clubs, Charlbury’s Day Centre and Community Centre, and overseas projects in Africa, India, South America and elsewhere.
We must thank those generous sponsors who finance the beers and the entertainment tents, and of course, the beers themselves, plus the many hours that committee members and other volunteers put in. Cheers all round!
Charlbury Cricket Club provides a glorious setting, just across the road from Charlbury Station. There are excellent all-day (including late night) bus and train services to and from Charlbury to Oxford, Chipping Norton, Reading, Witney, Worcester and London, so you don’t even need to drive if you want to have a drink. To keep up to date with the festival, please visit our website and follow our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).

When I grow up I'm going to be Adrian Lancini - A life of creative pathways.
Charlbury Arts is delighted to welcome Adrian to talk about his life of creativity and comedy.
Adrian is a graphic designer and web builder and he is also a comedian, a poet, a writer, a musician and a failed carrot farmer.
Tonight he will give a humorous talk about his life in graphic design, how working less led him to explore other creative pathways and how they can playfully combine to keep life fulfilling and interesting.

Claude Bourbon takes you on a captivating musical journey that defies borders and genres. With roots in classical guitar, his music flows effortlessly through the blues of the Mississippi Delta, the warmth of the Balearic Islands, the rich traditions of the Balkans, and back again.
His style blends Spanish blues with Gypsy rhythms, Eastern European melodies, and touches of flamenco inspired by Paco de Lucía. Influences from Ritchie Blackmore, Joaquín Rodrigo, JJ Cale, and even J.S. Bach can be heard in his rich, intricate playing.
With flawless timing and astonishing technique, Claude does things on six strings most guitarists only dream of. Experience a unique fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical, and Spanish guitar—all brought together in one unforgettable performance.
