Museum Plant Sale - call for plants

We have gathered together a wonderful collection of bedding plants, perennials and shrubs, many specially grown for the sale. Today these has been boosted by the kind donation of vegetable seedlings from FarmEd.  But we can always do with more plants!  

If you have any plants you would like to donate, we will be in the back garden at the Corner House on Friday evening between 5.30 and 6.30 to receive them.  This sale is a major fundraiser for us and we are very grateful for all the donations we receive. And we will be delighted to see you at the sale on Saturday morning at the Memorial Hall starting at 10am.

New list of social opportunities and other support for carers of people living with dementia

The Dementia Friendly Charlbury group have been reviewing ways in which, as community volunteers, we can support local people living with dementia and their carers in close liaison with Dementia Oxfordshire’s local adviser, who provides professional support.

We have compiled a list of opportunities for carers to meet other people in a similar situation and to access other forms of support. Copies are posted for viewing and downloading on our page in the Community section (Health and Wellbeing) of this charlbury.info website here www.charlbury.info/community/79. We are also aiming to have copies available at key locations around the town including the Surgery, the Corner House, the Pharmacy, the Deli and the Library.

If you are interested but are unable to get a copy in any of these ways, you can email us at charlburydf@gmail.com or phone 01608 810192.

Chloe's at Alder House to Close

It’s been quite an amazing couple of years, but as they say, all good things must come to an end… and I’m here to let you know that we’ll be closing Chloe’s at Alder House on Friday 11th July.

We can get into the whys-and-wherefores another time, but please know that this is a really positive move for me and my family. Rest-assured that me and the Chloe’s crew will continue to host events and pop-ups in the spirit of what we’ve started here on Market Street. If you would like to collaborate on something, we’d love to hear from you!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our lovely customers for your continued support of my little business plus our amazing staff, suppliers and our families. In particular I’d like to express my love and gratitude to Kate, Caz and Tom who have really been instrumental to everything we’ve created so far and worked with so much care and love and getting on-board with making Chloe’s such beautiful thing!

We have thought really hard about what would work best for Charlbury on the shop site, and I am absolutely thrilled to let you know that there’s something wonderful coming (more news in the next week-or-so). Everyone has asked about is opening the space here more: and this is exactly what’s going to happen!

Hope to see you for one last dinner (or two!)

Chloe and the gang xxx

P.S. I have included details of our final weeks on the Forum page

Update - Annual Parish Boundary Walk is back! - Sun 25th May

Just a reminder - SORRY NO DOGS are allowed on the Cornbury stretch of the walk as deer are currently fawning, in addition there are ground nesting birds which are vulnerable at this time of year.

First half of the walk has some very overgrown sections, so not suitable for young children.

For full details of the walk see below in News or Events section of Charlbury info.
