And yourself. \n\n\n\nFeaturing Suite Number One in G Major by JS Bach and personal comedic pieces crafted in Idiot classes\, Karen fuses in a healthy dose of pathos tackling identity\, expectations\, and success through the eyes of a fool. \n\n\n\nIf you’ve ever questioned “what am I doing with my life?” this is the show for you. Karen Hall seems to know exactly what she’s doing with her life. On the surface anyway. Over the next 80 minutes you will watch her strip back\, literally and figuratively\, the layers of what and why to the how she got here moments. \n\n\n\n“She’s casually conversational one moment\, teetering on the edge of insanity the next.” (King River Magazine) and as she takes her journey you’ll take yours.

With trains not running on Discovery Days\, there is a rare opportunity to see the locomotives up close. \n\n\n\nA colourful Centre Guide helps visitors navigate the site\, from the original 1932 Engine Shed to the impressive collection of preserved locomotives\, including 5900 Hinderton Hall. Guests can step onto the footplate and hear staff in character as they bring the engines to life\, capturing the rhythms of a working steam-era shed. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAcross the site\, the Engine Shed atmosphere is carefully recreated\, with sounds and details that evoke daily railway life. The Carriage and Wagon section displays restored rolling stock from Victorian times to the 1940s\, including a VIP saloon believed to have been used by General Eisenhower during preparations for D-Day and later part of the GWR Royal Train\, alongside ongoing restoration work. Brunel’s Broad Gauge collection is also on display\, including locomotives\, coaches\, the transfer shed\, and remnants of the ambitious Atmospheric Railway. \n\n\n\nInteractive and interpretive experiences continue in the Signalling Centre\, where visitors can discover how rail traffic has been controlled over time\, with the Swindon Panel demonstrated on selected dates. A WWII air raid shelter offers a powerful glimpse into wartime history\, while the museum houses a vast and varied collection of smaller artefacts. The Road Transport Hangar adds further depth with examples of historic GWR road vehicles. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nDiscovery Days offer full access to the site\, with the restaurant\, shop\, museum\, Engine Shed displays\, carriage and wagon exhibits\, signalling centre\, and transfer shed all open to visitors. The quieter atmosphere allows more time to appreciate the locomotives and surroundings. At times\, visitors may also witness shunting movements\, workshop activity\, or even steam tests taking place outdoors. \n\n\n\nFamilies can enjoy the outdoor play area or dress up as station staff\, while the refreshment rooms provide space to relax over lunch or a snack. A visit to the gift shop offers souvenirs to complete the experience. The backdrop of modern railway traffic passing nearby adds contrast\, bringing over 180 years of railway evolution together in a single day. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \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\nAdmission for 2 people with Tea & Cake – £32.00 (£35.50 with Gift Aid) \n\n\n\nAdult Admission – £12.00 (£14.00 with Gift Aid)Senior Admission (65+) – £9.00 (£10.00 with Gift Aid)Child Admission (3 to 15) – £7.50 (£8.50 with Gift Aid)                  Child Under 3 Admission – Free \n\n\n\nFamily of 4 Admission (2 Adults and 2 Children) – £35.00 (£38.50 with Gift Aid)Family of 5 Admission (2 Adults and 3 Children) – £44.00 (£48.50 with Gift Aid)                 Carer Admission – £0.00Visitors may be asked to provide reasonable proof of carer status on the day of arrival. \n\n\n\nAdmission prices are inclusive of all regular attractions including free train rides on running days. \n\n\n\nChild prices apply to children aged 3 to 15 \n\n\n\nOpening times:The Didcot Railway Centre is currently open only at Weekends and on 18 to 20 February for Half-Term\, with the last entries at 2.30pm.

Once we have a collection of stories\, we facilitate a group discussion to identify what can be learned from them. \n\n\n\nStorytelling helps us to do justice to the messiness of people’s lives in a way that tick boxes and feedback forms never can. It helps us to listen\, it’s a meaningful and collaborative process\, and it brings to light rich\, human stories that we can learn from. \n\n\n\nSince 2017 we’ve worked with over 250 local and national partners and counting. \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\n\nStandard £250.00\n\n\n\nPay more £300.00\n\n\n\nPay less £150.00\n\n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours 30 minutes \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note the attendee will be contacted with a link to join a week before the training. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Old Fire Station\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Fire Station in Oxford is an arts centre with a unique social mission\, combining creativity with community impact.

With trains not running on Discovery Days\, there is a rare opportunity to see the locomotives up close. \n\n\n\nA colourful Centre Guide helps visitors navigate the site\, from the original 1932 Engine Shed to the impressive collection of preserved locomotives\, including 5900 Hinderton Hall. Guests can step onto the footplate and hear staff in character as they bring the engines to life\, capturing the rhythms of a working steam-era shed. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAcross the site\, the Engine Shed atmosphere is carefully recreated\, with sounds and details that evoke daily railway life. The Carriage and Wagon section displays restored rolling stock from Victorian times to the 1940s\, including a VIP saloon believed to have been used by General Eisenhower during preparations for D-Day and later part of the GWR Royal Train\, alongside ongoing restoration work. Brunel’s Broad Gauge collection is also on display\, including locomotives\, coaches\, the transfer shed\, and remnants of the ambitious Atmospheric Railway. \n\n\n\nInteractive and interpretive experiences continue in the Signalling Centre\, where visitors can discover how rail traffic has been controlled over time\, with the Swindon Panel demonstrated on selected dates. A WWII air raid shelter offers a powerful glimpse into wartime history\, while the museum houses a vast and varied collection of smaller artefacts. The Road Transport Hangar adds further depth with examples of historic GWR road vehicles. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nDiscovery Days offer full access to the site\, with the restaurant\, shop\, museum\, Engine Shed displays\, carriage and wagon exhibits\, signalling centre\, and transfer shed all open to visitors.
