Good to know

Style guide:Offering the perfect opportunity to don your summers’ best, Salon Privé welcomes all fashions and styles, from demure to eccentric.

Whichever day you choose to attend, think Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, think Royal Ascot, think the very best of Henley Royal Regatta. Garden party attire should be dressy but typically not too formal, effortless but not too casual.

For gentlemen, we suggest a comfortable suit or blazer with chinos and a pair of brogues.

For ladies, we recommend chic daywear such as summer dresses or trousers and jumpsuits, and of course, beautiful hats, headpieces and fascinators on Ladies’ Day Friday. Please bear in mind the gravel paths and lawns at the Blengheim Palace are not the best surface for stiletto heels.

Dogs:No dogs allowed

Enter THE CASTLE with Jon Ronson - Mystery, Crime & Unmoored Men

Enter THE CASTLE with Jon Ronson – Mystery, Crime & Unmoored Men

About Enter THE CASTLE with Jon Ronson – Mystery, Crime & Unmoored Men

After three decades investigating the strange edges of human behaviour – from public shamings, psychopaths, to modern moral panics – Jon Ronson’s latest true story turns unexpectedly close to home.

When his son is lured to a mysterious castle deep in the forests of New England, Jon finds himself on a darkly comic, perilous quest to uncover what was really happening inside its walls.

The Castle, Jon’s first book in 11 years, is his most personal, revealing and gripping journey yet—a twisting tale of unmoored men, lost purpose and the absurd, frightening ways it can all go wrong. Does a world of disinhibition, where seemingly anything goes, lie ahead of us?

Enter THE CASTLE with Jon Ronson – Mystery, Crime & Unmoored Men

In this brand new live show, Jon brings the book’s extraordinary stories to life on stage with astonishing footage and online clips, including jaw-dropping material that has long since vanished from the internet.

You’ll also get a first look at what’s coming in the next season of Things Fell Apart, and of course, the chance to put your questions directly to Jon. Funny, unsettling, and unforgettable.

About St Giles’ Fair 2026

St Giles’ Fair 2026 will take place on Monday 07 and Tuesday 08 September, from 11.00am to 11.00pm on both days.

St Giles’ Fair is one of the greatest and most prestigious in the country. The fair dates back to 1625 when it was a parish festival to celebrate the feast of the patron saint, St Giles, and is held on the Monday and Tuesday following the first Sunday after St Giles’ Day (01 September).

In the 18th century, it was a toy fair, and then in the early 19th century, it was a general children’s fair. The funfair grew during mid and late Victorian times when improved means of transport meant that large numbers of people could be brought into the city to attend the festivities. It was also when the forerunners of today’s rides were first developed following advances in mechanical engineering.

Now run by Oxford City Council, the St Giles’ fair is probably the largest of its kind in Europe taking up all of St Giles’ even Magdalen Street by Elliston and Cavell’s right up to and beyond the War Memorial, at the meeting of the Woodstock and Banbury roads.

The street is closed to traffic on the two days in September for this traditional fair.

Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks – YES Epics, Classics & More

About Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks – YES Epics, Classics & More

Legendary YES vocalist/songwriter Jon Anderson is touring with The Band Geeks, performing classic YES tracks.

The first time I heard the BAND GEEKS, I truly freaked out – they sound just like the classic YES of the seventies, the YES that I know and love… and that’s what I’m waiting to bring to you on this tour… YES music is forever!!!” – Jon Anderson

Jon Anderson is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable voices in music as the lead vocalist and creative force behind YES.

Anderson was the author and a major creative influence behind the ground-breaking album ‘Fragile’ as well as the series of epic, complex pieces such as ‘Awaken,’ ‘Gates of Delirium’ and especially ‘Close to the Edge’ which were central to the band’s success.

Additionally, Anderson co-authored the group’s biggest hits, including ‘I’ve Seen All Good People,’ ‘Roundabout’ and ‘Owner Of A Lonely Heart.’ After 50 years of success in the music business, Jon has worked with many variations of YES, as well as collaborations with Vangelis, Kitaro, Roine Stolt and Jean-Luc Ponty.

He has released several critically acclaimed solo albums, including ‘Olias of Sunhillow,’ ‘Song of Seven,’ ‘Animation,’ ‘Three Ships,’ ‘Toltec’ and ‘Survival and Other Stories’ and most recently ‘1000 Hands,’ to name just a few.

The Band Geeks began as the house band for the Band Geek podcast, an internet show created by Richie Castellano (Blue Öyster Cult). The band gained popularity on YouTube with their incredibly detailed recreations of music by artists like Queen, Toto, Black Sabbath and Yes, which have earned the Band Geeks over 30 million views.

The Band Geeks:

Richie Castellano (Blue Öyster Cult) – Bass, Guitar

Chris Clark (Brand X, John Entwistle) – Keyboards

Andy Ascolese (Kasim Sulton’s Utopia, Celebrating Meat Loaf) – Drums

Phil Castellano – Keyboards, Guitar

Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey
2026-09-10 19:30 | Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, Exchange Street, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP20 1UG
Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey

About Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey

This Friars date will be the opening night of Tom’s 2026 UK Tour. He will be playing the big Thompson Twins hits, songs that were the soundtrack to our lives, such as Doctor Doctor, You Take Me Up, Sister of Mercy, The Gap, Love On Your Side, We Are Detective, Lay Your Hands on Me, King For a Day and their biggest hit Hold Me Now.

Bailey and his band will also be performing other classic Thompson Twins favourites, as well as tracks from his solo album Science Fiction.

In 2022, Tom Bailey played an exclusive date for Friars Aylesbury, when he played the whole of the Thompson Twins’ iconic Into The Gap album for the first time in his career. Fans flew in from all over the world, particularly from the USA, making it one of the best Friars gigs of the past decade.

Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey

Bailey has been storming UK arenas and festivals throughout the summer of 2025, receiving a standing ovation every night as a special guest of The Human League. He also rocked Rewind Henley in August, receiving one of the biggest audience reactions of the entire festival. Afterwards, Rewind posted ‘No one does it like Tom Bailey’.

Thompson Twins are widely regarded as one of the iconic bands of the 1980s. Known for their unique fusion of pop, new wave, and synth-driven dance music, combined with an eclectic visual style, the band enjoyed consistent success in both the singles and albums charts throughout the decade on both sides of the Atlantic. They are also among the select group of British artists who successfully “broke” America.

In 1985, they appeared at Live Aid in Philadelphia with Nile Rodgers on guitar and Madonna on backing vocals. Thompson Twins singer and co-writer Bailey is regarded as one of the UK’s premier songwriters, performers and producers. He played on Grace Jones’ My Jamaican Guy and Foreigner’s I Want to Know what Love Is amongst many others.

Thompson Twins Tom Bailey are:

Tom Bailey (vocals/guitar/keyboards/harmonica/percussion)

Charlotte Raven (vocals/keyboards/electric cello)

Paulina Szczepaniak (vocals/electronic drums)

Alice Offley (vocals/keyboards/bass guitar)

Supporting Tom Bailey will be special guests Blancmange. Neil Arthur is a long-time friend of Tom’s and is a fellow artist from the Eighties synth pop scene and arts culture.

With four top 20 singles, including the highly acclaimed Living On A Ceiling, the band were an integral part of British musical history from that era. Accomplished wordsmiths with ironic, stylish videos, Blancmange, The Twins and their contemporaries were the epitome of 80’s cool!

Oxford Open Doors 2026
2026-09-12 00:00 - 2026-09-13 23:59 | Oxford City Centre, Oxford City Centre, Oxford, Oxfordshire
About Oxford Open Doors 2026

Oxford Open Doors 2026 is a city-wide heritage weekend celebrating Oxford’s rich history and culture, offering free public access to nearly 150 buildings and sites normally closed to the public.

Across the weekend, thousands of residents and visitors are invited to explore Oxford’s hidden stories, from historic landmarks to lesser-known corners of the city. A varied programme of events will take place across the city, creating a vibrant atmosphere and encouraging people to discover Oxford from new perspectives.

Colleges and university buildings across the city will open their doors, alongside community groups and local organisations showcasing their work and their place in Oxford’s history. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore Oxford Preservation Trust sites, including the Painted Room, Rewley Road Swing Bridge, and North Hinksey Conduit House.

Highlights from previous events include historic sites such as Slade Camp, the former army training ground that later became home to families displaced after the Second World War, and Oxford Castleyard, which hosted demonstrations of heritage skills, stone carving, classic cars, and hands-on screen printing workshops.

Guided walks revealed overlooked and rarely accessible spaces, from the geology of Holywell Cemetery to Love Lane, closed to the public for over a century. Transport and waterway heritage featured prominently, with heritage bus tours from the Oxford Bus Museum, a Canal & River Trust pop-up at Isis Lock, and public access to the Corpus Christi College Barge, accompanied by an exhibition of historic photographs.

Oxford Open Doors is organised by Oxford Preservation Trust, an independent charity founded in 1927, dedicated to enabling public access to Oxford’s historic places. The Trust will deliver Oxford Open Doors 2026 as part of its ongoing programme of events and conservation work, and public support will help ensure the continuation of this much-loved annual event.

Charlbury Farmers’ Market

About Charlbury Farmers’ Market

Charlbury is a Cotswold Market Town with a Charter granted by King Henry III in 1256.

The original market place was in Church Street, but nowadays, there is too much traffic, and street closure is not an option.

The Playing Close is a superb location, and the Trustees of Thomas Gifford’s Charity (the landowner) has agreed that the markets can take place there.

All the produce comes from within a 50-mile radius of Charlbury and complies with TVFMC rules. The market also allows stalls that promote Charlbury’s many activities, such as the annual Street Fair, Beer Festival and Children’s Playgroup.

The market takes place quarterly – on the 2nd Saturday of March, June, September and December.
