Witney Feast, The Leys, Witney, Oxfordshire

About the Witney Feast 2025

One of Witney’s oldest traditions returns this September! With origins dating back nearly 800 years, the Witney Feast was established to commemorate the rededication of St Mary’s Church and has become a cherished annual celebration in the town.

Sunday 14 September:The Feast kicks off with the much-loved Golden Gallopers service at 1.00pm on The Leys, followed by a special family afternoon. Street entertainers, including jugglers, will keep children and adults smiling, creating a perfect opportunity for families to enjoy the fun together.

Monday 15 & Tuesday 16 September:The fair opens at lunchtime and runs through to 10.00pm, offering two full evenings of fun, food, and rides under the lights. Classic favourites such as the Waltzer, Dodgems, Wild Mouse roller coaster, and the big horses will be there, alongside modern thrills like the spectacular Air Ride. Test your skills at traditional fairground stalls or enjoy a variety of food offerings.

Traditional Highlights:The Witney Feast begins with a civic service at St Mary’s Church and continues with a blessing at the Golden Gallopers carousel on The Leys — a long-standing tradition that links the fair to its historic roots. This year, Sunday’s family afternoon offers a new way to enjoy the Feast together before the main fair days.

Celebrated for its size and unique attractions, Witney Feast proudly holds the title of Oxfordshire’s largest funfair, blending centuries of heritage with modern thrills and entertainment for all ages.

What to expect

Star Flyer, Space, Superstar, Extreme, Jumping Frogs, Dominator, Stargate – these are some of the rides you’re likely to encounter at Witney Feast in 2025.

It’s set to be a spectacular event. Along with traditional rides such as the Waltzer and Dodgems, there is the Wild Mouse roller coaster and a family-friendly smaller version – the Dragon Coaster.

Some of the rides that come to Witney are exclusive and not seen at the St Giles’ Fair in Oxford.

So, if you fancy a ride aboard the Star Flyer 200 feet up in the air or a wander through the largest funhouse in Europe at four storeys high, right here in the heart of Witney is the place to be.

The band have been exploring Genesis music for 20 years and have been thrilling audiences with their uncannily accurate renditions of this extraordinary music, with a light show to match.

Remembrances of War: Paul Joyce Exhibition

Remembrances of War

About Remembrances of War: Paul Joyce Exhibition

The Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum presents Remembrances of War, an evocative exhibition of paintings by artist Paul Joyce.

Born in 1940 under the shadow of the Second World War, Joyce draws on personal childhood memories of bomb-scarred London as well as the wider cultural memory of a world devastated by conflict.

Bile of Beans

The collection juxtaposes scenes of smouldering rubble in South London with imagined depictions of Hiroshima and the destruction across Europe.

Everyday objects such as Bovril and baked beans appear alongside military aircraft and apocalyptic landscapes, reflecting the absurd collision of the ordinary and the catastrophic during wartime.

Down!

Influenced by artists such as Paul Nash and Eric Ravilious, Joyce’s works combine pastoral scenes with striking, militarised elements. Devoid of human figures, the paintings instead speak through objects, buildings, and machines—haunting reminders of the people whose lives were shaped by war.

The exhibition is enriched by artefacts from the museum’s collection, offering further insight into how ordinary people endured and adapted to extraordinary times. Visitors of all ages are welcome, with interactive features including a reconstructed 1940s bedroom and creative activities for children.

Battle of Britain

Entry to Remembrances of War also includes access to the museum’s wider galleries, from immersive First and Second World War experiences to the temporary exhibition Life Lines, which explores the liberation of Bergen-Belsen through community art projects centred on acts of kindness.

Justin Moorhouse: The Greatest Performance of My Life

About Justin Moorhouse: The Greatest Performance of My Life

Get ready for an unforgettable experience as Justin returns with ‘The Greatest Performance of My Life’.

After a successful and extensively extended tour of his 2022 show Stretch and Think (which you can catch in full on YouTube), he’s back on the road with this new show.

The story covers subjects ranging from pantomimes to dreams, how to behave in hospitals, small talk, realising his Mum is a northern version of Columbo, and how being a smart-mouthed kid saved him from a life of continually being beaten up.

Above all else, it’s the Justin you have to come to expect. It’s funny and interesting, and perhaps there’s a little bit that warms the soul, too.

Reviews

“What sets him apart is the craft. Lightning fast wit, masterful delivery.” ★★★★

Chortle

“If joke-telling is your thing, then Justin Moorhouse is your man…very high gag rate.” ★★★★

Fest

“Skilful crafting…he keeps the laughs coming.” ★★★★

British Theatre Guide

“He charms the pants off the crowd.”

About Janet Street-Porter Is On the Loose

From a bolshy child with a Welsh-speaking budgie to National Treasure, Janet Street-Porter’s life (and language) has always been colourful.

As a broadcaster, television executive and newspaper editor she was at the forefront of some of Britain’s most enduring cultural moments. Now she finds herself with a senior railcard and 4 ex-husbands. The nation’s favourite pissed-off pensioner brings comedy, tragedy and gossip in equal measure, a tour de force rant against growing old gracefully.

Often imitated but rarely equalled, in the words of her good friend Elton, “the bitch is back”!

King 810: Welcome to the Rustbelt

About King 810: Welcome to the Rustbelt

Flint, Michigan – a huge part of America’s industrial rustbelt history, home to infamous trailblazers King 810, and the inspiration behind the band’s latest single and title track ‘Rustbelt Nu Metal‘, out now.

Recorded live on the spring equinox in one day in front of a live studio audience of 50 people, the music video flashes images of the harrowing reality of life on the streets of Flint; contaminated drinking water, gun fights, knife crime, unsafe sex work, and drug dependency, all topped off with vocalist and creative visionary David Gunn‘s signature snarls and fervent venom.

Taken from their next upcoming album Rustbelt Nu Metal, which is slated for a June 2025 release, the band shared, “RBNM was recorded live on the spring equinox 3/23 in one day in front of a studio audience of 50. There are no samples, keyboards, synthesisers, or click tracks/metronomes used in the recording. Give this many listens and many views and we will reconvene with our collective thoughts on the matter. Very truly yours, King 810.”

Creatively on fire and inspired by this way of recording, the band intends to record a second album in this series in June on the summer solstice and a third, again in the same fashion, on the autumn equinox.

Stream the track here.

About O2 Academy Oxford

The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.

Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.
