The only General Strike in UK history\, it saw three million workers walk out between 04 to 12 May 1926. \n\n\n\nAmong these millions were workers in Oxford: railway\, print and building workers. They walked out in solidarity with miners facing a wage cut and a longer working day. Their actions brought areas of the city to a standstill. \n\n\n\nIn 1984-85\, thousands of miners went on strike over proposed pit closures. The year-long strike was sustained in part by solidarity efforts across the country. In Oxford\, despite geographical distance from the coalmining heartlands\, collective efforts generated extraordinary support for striking miners. \n\n\n\nThrough two performances based on historical accounts\, these two episodes in Oxford’s history – and the links between them – will be brought to light. \n\n\n\nThe event will feature live music from the Sea Green Singers and a paid bar. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n1.45pm – Doors open \n\n\n\n2.00pm – The General Strike in Oxford\, by Peter Cann \n\n\n\nBased on written and oral histories\, records of the Oxford & District Trades Council\, and newspaper archives\, this performance will draw on the experiences of those in Oxford who took part in the 1926 General Strike. \n\n\n\nThe performance will be presented by a group of narrators and performers\, who will give voice to the sequence of events and the people involved over the nine days of the Strike. The performance will be accompanied by songs performed by the Sea Green Singers. Written and devised by local playwright Peter Cann. \n\n\n\n3.00pm – Interval \n\n\n\n3.20pm – 40th Anniversary of the Miners’ Strike in Oxford \n\n\n\nBased on the book ‘The Miners’ Strike in Oxford’\, this portion of the event will tell the story of the extraordinary efforts made in the city to support the miners\, including significant campaigning\, picketing and fundraising. \n\n\n\nFeaturing singing from the Sea Green Singers. This is a reprisal of an event first held at Florence Park Community Centre in 2025 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike. \n\n\n\n4.00pm – Event ends \n\n\n\nThis event is held to commemorate the centenary of the General Strike\, alongside further events organised by Oxford & District Trades Council. \n\n\n\nAccess  \n\n\n\nThere is step-free\, level entry access to the Town Hall via the entrance closest to Carfax Tower (to the left of the main steps as you face the Town Hall).

The following year\, they would become an official comedy partnership that would set the whole world rocking with laughter. \n\n\n\nNobody could have anticipated at the time how this unlikely Anglo/American comedy duo would become global icons in over 130 countries around the world. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n NEIL BRAND’s Centenary Laurel & Hardy Show\n\n\n\nThe organisers are pleased to announce and celebrate those 100 years with the brand new production of Neil Brand’s Evening with Laurel & Hardy 2026 Centenary Tour. Neil has established himself as the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment. \n\n\n\nThanks to new restorations of their silent films\, and the rediscovery of some of their lesser-known comedies\, Neil will uncover gems of hilarity from the team whose comedy never ages\, and bring them to jaw-dropping life with the demanding live piano improvisations for which he is so famous. Featuring extended scenes from the best of their silent comedies\, particularly You’re Darn Tootin’\, The Finishing Touch and The Second Hundred Years. \n\n\n\nNeil’s concerts have proved really popular with his personal contact with the audience & his unique insight into Laurel & Hardy and the birth of the cinema industry. His engaging\, easy-going style\, along with his Q&A at the end of the show answering all the questions from the audience\, followed by his after-show ‘Meet and Greet’\, makes for a highly entertaining evening. \n\n\n\nCurrently working on a television documentary and a new book about The Boys\, Neil is once again looking forward to sharing his knowledge and expertise with audiences around the country\, and celebrating the life and times of comedy legends\, Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £28.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSunday 12 April 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nNorman Bragg Studio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Aylesbury Waterside Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAylesbury Waterside Theatre is a stunning modern venue at the heart of Buckinghamshire’s cultural scene. \n\n\n\nOpened in 2010\, its striking wooden interior takes inspiration from the rolling Chiltern Hills\, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
