In a world teetering on the edge of debauchery and deceit\, his only joy is his daughter\, Gilda.  \n\n\n\nWhen the charming but womanising Duke sets his sights on Gilda\, his actions set in motion a tragic chain of events where a father’s love and treachery collide in a crescendo of passion and heartbreak. \n\n\n\nWelsh National Opera\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSet against the backdrop of a decadent and ruthless court\, this heart-wrenching tale explores the intricate web of love\, betrayal\, and the consequences of power.  \n\n\n\nVerdi wrote that Rigoletto was his best opera.

The event aims to commemorate this and help families discover more about Oxfordshire’s contribution to events that changed the world and the stories of local people caught up in them. \n\n\n\nFirst World War activities will be open to all the family\, with an illustration workshop focused on wartime animals and an opportunity to make your own ‘Princess Mary’ tin\, like those gifted to soldiers from Christmas 1914.During the event\, the museum’s galleries will be open alongside a range of WW1 living history displays to help immerse visitors in the period. \n\n\n\nThe Great War Society\, Britain’s longest-running First World War living history group\, will portray soldiers from the county regiment (The Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry) throughout different stages of the conflict. Those dropping in will also see interpretations of French soldiers from Volontaires Etrangers\, offering a different perspective on the ’War to End All Wars’. \n\n\n\nThe museum’s permanent displays cover some of the many different fronts on which the war was fought\, from the western front to Mesopotamia (now Iraq)\, while a re-created trench dugout offers visitors a chance to walk through history\, with equipment and clothing for families to handle and even try on. \n\n\n\nAlongside living history\, there will be opportunities to find out more about local and family history with several displays from other museums and heritage organisations\, including the Western Front Association\, Chipping Norton Museum\, Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum\, and the Royal Army Chaplains’ Museum. \n\n\n\nGreat War historian and author Helen Frost will also be attending\, promoting her new book Voices from the Great War: Women’s Land Army\, with signed copies available\, alongside a fascinating display of Land Girls’ uniforms and photographs to help tell their often-overlooked First World War story. \n\n\n\nThose with a family story from the First World War and objects to share will find museum staff and volunteers on hand to discuss these and accept donations to the museum’s collections\, preserving Oxfordshire’s military heritage for future generations. \n\n\n\nThe museum is particularly interested in objects from the First World War with a person or story associated with them that ties to the county itself or one of the county’s regiments\, The Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry or Oxfordshire Yeomanry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Pay what you can \n\n\n\nDuring the First World War Family Day\, the museum will not charge its standard admission prices for entry. Instead\, visitors will be encouraged to “Pay what you can” – as entry will be by donation. \n\n\n\nAll proceeds will support the museum’s 10th-anniversary fundraising campaign\, helping to ensure the museum can continue to look after and expand its collections while preserving and sharing Oxfordshire’s military and wartime stories. \n\n\n\nParking:Blenheim Palace\, just a short walk from Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum\, is kindly supporting this event\, providing additional car parking for visitors on their site throughout. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/first-world-war-themed-family-day/ LOCATION:Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum\, Woodstock\, Park Street\, Woodstock\, Oxfordshire\, OX20 1SN CATEGORIES:Community Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/sofo-museum-24-1920x1080-first-world-war-themed-family-day.webp GEO:51.8476161;-1.3572711 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum Woodstock Park Street Woodstock Oxfordshire OX20 1SN;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Park Street:geo:-1.3572711,51.8476161 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241102T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241102T203000 DTSTAMP:20260418T163828 CREATED:20241026T211910Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251025T083533Z UID:10009677-1730574000-1730579400@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Take Flight by London Oriana Choir DESCRIPTION:Take Flight by London Oriana Choir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Take Flight by London Oriana Choir\n\n\n\nJoin London Oriana Choir for music devoted to the skies amidst the stunning setting of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin\, including a performance of Cecilia McDowall’s ‘Night Flight’ with cellist Gabriel Amherst.
