This event is a must date for your diary and we are looking forward to welcoming many people from the surrounding area and villages in the Shelswell Benefice to an outstanding fun day for all the family with free entrance throughout the day. It starts at 11am and finishes at 6pm.
We will be closing Church Street between the Red Lion Pub and the Church of St Mary and St Edburga for the duration of the event. There will be some 30 food and beverage stall holders, a mini beer festival with 12 beer and cider casks on sale and live music throughout the day with a mixture of Country, 60’s revival and two permanences from the well known Bletchingdon Silver Band. There’ll be hot dogs and burgers, a hog roast cooked in the street and tea and cakes in the church. Activities for children such as a bouncy castle, and a professional face painter sponsored by Bicester Village plus other games. There’s also a major prize draw and a surprise celebration for the Queen’s 90th birthday.
The event will raise money for the church porch restoration fund, since the church importantly acts as our village hall, together with nominated local charities. We already have support from a number of local businesses including funding from Finders Keeper, Thomas Merrifield and Bicester Heritage and Bicester Village and would be interested to hear from anyone else who’d like to participate, as a food stall holder (£25 per pitch), or by giving an item for the tombola or prize draw or simply by volunteering some time or other help.
