The Museum will be open on Saturday from 10.30 to 12.30 pm, and on Sunday from 2.30 - 4.30 pm. The Visitors' Book is full of names from Canada, New Zealand, Western Australia, and many UK counties. Add your name to the list and explore all five rooms for treasures.
One hundred years ago this weekend, Charlbury celebrated the end of the Great War with a Peace Carnival. Pouring rain hampered the children's sports, but the lunch for returned warriors and the evening dance went ahead in the Town Hall. On Monday 21st July the sports were completed, a cricket match (married v single) was held, and the Carnival proper began, with children's and adults' fancy dress and decorated vehicles. All proceeded from "the sports field" to Nine Acres and then to Lees Rest for a bonfire and fireworks which lit up the country for miles. See more photos inside the Museum.

Ride
and Stride - a good day out for all the family
Whether on bike, roller
skates or Shank’s Pony this is for YOU!!
On Saturday 14
September the roads of Oxfordshire will see hundreds of cyclists and walkers
taking part in the annual sponsored Ride and Stride for the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust. Whatever the weather they visit as many
churches as they can to raise money to help maintain Oxfordshire’s churches of
all denominations.
These buildings
are focal points in our communities. They connect us with past and
future generations, and we all expect
them to be there for the major events in our lives, but they receive no
government funding and cost a lot to maintain.
The annual Ride
and Stride is not just a good way of raising money for a very good cause; it is
also good exercise and good fun for all the family. You set your own target,
and, just when you think your lungs cannot cope with any more, you reach
another church offering refreshments, encouragement and an excuse to stop and
have a look round.
You do not have to be a churchgoer to take part and enjoy
a really good day out. You can sign up online at ohct.org.uk/ride-stride/ and
get all the information you need or there will be sign-up and sponsorship forms
in each of Charlbury’s churches.
And for the third year in succession... for children of
Primary School age there will again be a junior version – a bike rally round
the five churches of Charlbury. Some forty children took part last year and
enjoyed it enormously. Let’s hope for great weather this year! See details
below.
We really look forward to having you with us! Put the date in your diary!!
