What’s on
Order deadline 10pm Thursday for collection the following Saturday from 2.30pm. Bring your own bag to transfer produce from the box AND keep your 2m social distance at all times. To reduce contacts maybe arrange to collect for friends and neighbours.
Order your box from StyanFamilyProduce.co.uk for delivery this coming Saturday and pay online.
House-bound and need your box delivered? Call the Community Centre
on 01608 811878 or if engaged try 01608 819253 (weekdays only) or email your request to info@charlburycommunitycentre.org.uk.
Check your email on Sat morning for your collection timeslot in the afternoon. To
enable the safe collection of the pre-ordered veg boxes, there are 10
minute interval collection timeslots to 6 different collection points
alongside the Community Centre organised by surname. Notifications are
sent out on Saturday morning by email to everyone who has ordered a box.
Normally Styan come to Charlbury Farmers Market every 3 months, but now we are lucky they are making up veg boxes for collection in Charlbury every Saturday afternoon. Boxes are Large or Small or Small Without Potatoes and there are optional extras like beetroot, Jerusalem artichokes, pink fir apple potatoes, rhubarb, honey, and Worcestershire tomatoes grown using heat from a biomass boiler.
SESI Refills - if you are urgently needing refills for SESI household detergents then please email info@charlburygreenhub.org uk and arrange to drop off your clean empty bottles on Saturday afternoon outside the Community Centre. These will then be refilled during the week and will be ready for collection the following Saturday afternoon.
Organised by Charlbury Green Hub in conjunction with Janet Burroughs from Charlbury Farmers Market and Nikki Rycroft from Patients Participation Group, and Tanya Stevenson from the Community Centre.

if you have ideas of what you would like to carve do bring these
with you, equally it is fine if you would like to wait and see what
the stone suggests!
Demonstration of stone carving
techniques and use of hand tools - mallets, chisels, rasps &
sandpaper.
Working on own piece with
one-to-one guidance at every stage, from 'roughing out' the basic
three-dimensional form to completion.
Advice on finishing the surface of
the stone.
A good lunch (weekend workshops)
and refreshments included.
No experience necessary.
A block of beautiful Maltese
limestone & use of tools included (further blocks available at

An Evening with Elena Piras
Elena will talk about her life and play some of the music she has written as well as other work she finds inspiring
Elena Piras is an award-winning solo artist specialising in traditional Gaelic and Scots folk music. She has performed live extensively, including at the Opera North Twilight Season in Leeds in 2015 and the Box Full of Treasures festival in Italy in 2013, which was also the year she released her debut album ‘Journey’ to critical acclaim.
In more recent years, she has continued to make music despite near-death experiences (plural), multiple sensory loss, chronic pain and the inevitable highs and lows that go along with trying to make a success of a creative life in troubled times. Happily, she is now well on the way to completing her second studio album ‘Where the Wind Blows’ and is still an in-demand name on the live folk circuit. Some of this new material has already enjoyed radio play on the BBC Introducing in Oxford show.
Elena cites Charlbury’s incredible community as her foremost reason for settling here. The varied connections and support she has received - both in and out of music - have proven invaluable to her and she looks forward to making a few more after her talk and performance!
