Pat Suet-Bik Hui & the Three Perfections

About Pat Suet-Bik Hui & the Three Perfections

This exhibition celebrates the work of Pat Suet-Bik Hui 許雪碧 (b. 1943), a US-based Hong Kong artist, shown alongside others who explore the tradition of the ‘three perfections’ 三絕 – the harmonious blending of poetry, calligraphy, and painting.

Featuring works by Hui, her contemporaries, her teacher Lui Shou-Kwan, and artists of his generation, as well as earlier examples from the 17th to 19th centuries, the exhibition offers a rich context for understanding Hui as both an innovator and a guardian of tradition.

In this artistic lineage, calligraphic brushstrokes carry as much compositional weight as painted forms, while poetry and imagery combine to create expressions neither can achieve alone.

Hui’s contemporary approach merges abstract and semi-abstract ink and colour washes with understated calligraphy, inscribing poems that reflect on themes including love, loss, and the quiet joys of drinking.

Visitors will find translations of many inscribed poems and guidance on interpreting the interplay of painting, calligraphy, and poetry within individual works.

Hui gifted her paintings to art historian Michael Sullivan, whose collection was bequeathed to the Ashmolean Museum in 2013.

About In Bloom: How Plants Changed Our World

What do we really know about the plants and flowers in our gardens and window boxes? Beyond their beauty, many hold hidden histories – tales of exploration, obsession, and knowledge.

In Bloom: How Plants Changed Our World is a major new exhibition that takes visitors on a journey from Oxford to the farthest corners of the globe, uncovering the fascinating stories behind some of Britain’s most beloved blooms, from roses and tulips to camellias and peonies.

Featuring over 100 artworks and objects – including drawings, paintings, rare prints, and ceramics – the exhibition explores our changing relationship with the natural world.

From the curiosity and ingenuity of early plant explorers to the global networks that shaped trade, In Bloom reveals how the pursuit of exotic plants transformed landscapes, economies, and cultures, leaving a legacy that continues to influence our world today.

Wonder of Birds Exhibition

About Wonder of Birds Exhibition

A major new exhibition at the Bodleian Libraries invites visitors to step into the remarkable world of birds, exploring their beauty, symbolism and fragility through art, literature and science.

Wonder of Birds draws inspiration from The Book of Birds, created by artist Jackie Morris and writer Robert Macfarlane. Both the exhibition and the book reflect on the decline of bird populations while celebrating their cultural and natural significance.

Curated by Antonia Harrison, the exhibition unfolds through seven themed sections – from nest and egg to feather, flight and migration – combining original artwork and writing with treasures from the Bodleian’s extensive collections.

Visitors can explore rare and historic material, including previously unseen glass plate negatives by pioneering wildlife photographer Emma Louisa Turner, alongside early nature photography from Richard Kearton and his brother Cherry.

Also on display are striking life-size illustrations from Birds of America by John James Audubon, as well as a rare Great Auk egg on loan from Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

The exhibition also highlights birds’ enduring influence on culture, featuring works such as Maya Angelou’s ‘Caged Bird’ and Percy Bysshe Shelley’s handwritten notes on ‘To a Skylark’. Global perspectives include imagery from The Book of the Fixed Stars and the poetic journey of The Conference of the Birds.

Enhancing the experience, a specially commissioned soundscape by sound artist Jason Singh immerses visitors in birdsong and natural environments, while artist duo Daniel & Clara present an interactive ‘Rewilding Imagination field guide’.

34: The critical raw materials shaping our future

About Breaking Ground

34: The Critical Raw Materials Shaping Our Future is a major new exhibition at Oxford University Museum of Natural History explores the hidden materials that power modern life — from smartphones and batteries to medical equipment and jet engines.

The exhibition examines the 34 raw materials considered essential to the UK’s future, revealing the global supply chains, ethical challenges and scientific innovations behind the minerals that underpin everyday technology.

Developed in collaboration with researchers from the University of Oxford’s Oxford EARTH Programme and departments across the physical, life and social sciences, the exhibition explores how increasing demand for green energy and digital technology is transforming the global race for critical materials.

Visitors can discover why substances such as lithium, cobalt and rare earth elements are so important to modern society, why supply chains are becoming increasingly fragile, and how scientists and industry are searching for more sustainable and ethical ways to source, use and recycle these materials.

Through interactive displays, scientific research, historic objects and contemporary technologies, the exhibition examines the future of extraction, sustainability and resource security, while highlighting the environmental and geopolitical challenges linked to critical raw materials.

Designed for audiences of all ages, the exhibition is accompanied by a programme of talks, workshops, tours and family activities exploring the science, ethics and global impact of the materials shaping our future.

What are critical raw materials?

Critical raw materials are those essential to key technologies but their supply may be limited, unsustainable or unethical. Critical raw materials tend to have unique chemical properties which make them difficult to replace in technology. The UK government includes 34 raw materials on its designated critical list, but lists vary from country to country.

Forest Live at Westonbirt Arboretum
2026-06-24 08:00 - 2026-06-28 17:00 | Forestry England Westonbirt Arboretum, Westonbirt Arboretum, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8 8QS
About Forest Live at Westonbirt Arboretum

Set within one of the UK’s most celebrated tree collections, Westonbirt Arboretum becomes something entirely different each summer when it hosts Forest Live — the Forestry England concert series that transforms ancient woodland into a natural amphitheatre.

Presented by Forestry England, the Westonbirt dates are often considered among the most atmospheric in the entire Forest Live calendar. Here, music doesn’t just fill a space; it sits within it, framed by towering maples, historic avenues, and the quiet geometry of the arboretum’s landscape design.

A concert stage carved into the woodland

Unlike traditional festival sites, Westonbirt doesn’t impose itself on the landscape. Instead, the stage is carefully integrated into open glades within the arboretum, with natural gradients forming gentle viewing terraces.

As evening falls, light rigs cut through the tree line, while the surrounding canopy absorbs the sound and softens it — creating a listening experience that feels unusually intimate, even for headline acts.

Audiences typically arrive early, settling into the space with blankets, chairs, and picnics as the arboretum slowly shifts from daytime calm to concert energy.

The Westonbirt atmosphere

What sets Westonbirt apart in the Forest Live series is its mood. It feels less like a festival site and more like a shared gathering in a living landscape.

Expect:

Long golden-hour performances as daylight filters through the trees

A relaxed, picnic-led audience culture rather than tightly packed crowds

Food and drink villages set discreetly within woodland clearings

The occasional pause where the forest itself becomes the backdrop between sets

A sense of scale that is wide, but never overwhelming

There is a natural rhythm to the evening here — one that follows the light, the trees, and the gradual transition into dusk.

Music in a living collection

The arboretum itself is central to the experience. Westonbirt is not just a venue; it is a globally significant tree collection, home to thousands of labelled specimens from around the world.

That context adds a subtle layer to the concerts: performances take place not in a generic outdoor field, but within a carefully curated landscape of botanical and historical importance.

It’s a setting where conservation, culture, and entertainment overlap without competing for attention.

Why Westonbirt stands out

Among all Forest Live locations, Westonbirt is often remembered for its contrast — polished touring acts set against a landscape that feels ancient, quiet, and deliberately uncommercial.

It is a venue where scale is measured differently: not by size of crowd, but by depth of atmosphere.

For many, a Forest Live concert here becomes less about a single performance and more about the experience of being in the arboretum at night — when the trees, light, and music briefly share the same space.

Riot Act 2

About Riot Act 2

Created and performed by Alexis Gregory

Directed by Rikki-Beadle Blair

Widely acclaimed queer solo verbatim theatre piece Riot Act, on LGBTQ+ activism, has appeared in the West End, across London and the UK on four national tours, filmed for current global steaming and cinema screenings, translated for international performance, and is published by Bloomsbury Publishing.

Now, brand new for 2026, presented by HIV and AIDS charity Mulwade Foundation, a self-contained follow up piece Riot Act 2 has been created.

Three brand new monologues feature Dr Joseph Sonnabend – one of the first people to ‘discover’ the AIDS virus, seventy-six year old Jonathan Blake – one of the first people diagnosed in the UK, and focussing on a modern pandemic – Ignacio Labayen De Inza, whose work supports community members affected by chemsex.

Join in the sharing of this exciting, moving, and life affirming new work ahead of its forthcoming UK tour with the foundation.

Staged reading – work in progress.

Reviews for the original Riot Act

“Riot Act is at once frank, warm and uninhibited…a forceful reminder of the importance of knowing your history.”

Evening Standard

“This stand out piece of theatre will become part of LGBT cultural heritage…a career defining performance.”

Attitude Magazine

“Queer theatre doesn’t get more essential.”

About The Jive Aces

Got the blues? Well, step right up, because The Jive Aces are bringing their Feelin’ Happy Tour to town, and it’s gonna flip your frown upside down!

When these cats burst onto the stage in their signature yellow suits, you’ll be tapping your feet and grinning like a fool before you know it. This ain’t just a show, it’s a proper good time that’ll leave you buzzing with joy.

For 30 years, they’ve been taking their infectious tunes to over 40 countries and continuously proving why they are the UK’s No.1 jive and swing band. They effortlessly transition from smooth-as-butter ballads to rip-roaring rhythm & blues, with a nod to the raw, foot-stomping roots of rock ‘n’roll.

They’ve played for the Queen, packed out the Royal Albert Hall, and made history as the first band to get to the Britain’s Got Talent finals. With 250 gigs a year, they’ve got a knack for turning any crowd into a dancing, cheering frenzy.

You’ve probably caught their rendition of the Morecambe and Wise classic Bring Me Sunshine – a banger with nearly 4 million YouTube views that’s so upbeat a U.S. doctor prescribed it to chase away the blues.

It’s been all over Strictly Come Dancing, Netflix, an American cop show and recently comedian Miranda Hart even declared it one of her favourite songs and stated on BBC Radio 3, “The Jive Aces will get me up off the floor and make me lose any self-consciousness and dance!”

Their latest album, Keeping The Show On The Road, is stuffed with crowd favourites that hit No.1 on Mike Read’s Heritage Chart and got spins on BBC and Boom Radio. Those tracks, plus their classic hits, will have you moving from the first note.

Joining the party is the sensational Noelle Vaughn, a jazz siren who’s got the UK scene buzzing. With a voice like velvet and a stage presence that’ll stop you in your tracks, Noelle swings from sultry ballads to red-hot jazz standards with ladles of charm. She’s wowed crowds at Ronnie Scott’s and lit up Eamonn Holmes’ 60th birthday bash.

Fresh off her acclaimed albums Bewitched and Too Darn Hot, with originals co-written with Amy Winehouse’s guitarist, Noelleâ’s smooth style channels Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan but with a spark that’s all her own.

These guys and gals are the real deal. They’ve shared stages with legends like Van Morrison, John Travolta, and Priscilla Presley, Jamie Cullum, Toto and Status Quo, and nabbed awards like the City of Derry International Music Award and the Variety Club of Great Britain Award for their music and charity work.

Their music videos? So sharp they’ve won film festival prizes. But what makes The Jive Aces special is how they make you feel like you’re right in the heart of the party.

Don’t miss the Feelin’ Happy Tour! Grab your dancing shoes and get ready for a night of swing, jive, and pure, unfiltered entertainment that’ll send you home more uplifted than a Beverly Hills trophy wife. Snag your tickets now for a show that’ll keep you smiling for days.

It is something unique, but it is also different things to different people. It is the cause and subject of many arguments and debates; and a fair amount of acclaim and affection. It is complicated and a little eccentric.

It is not a little theatre. It likes to make a big noise.

All Floyd – The Best of Pink Floyd 2026 Tour
2026-06-27 19:30 | Cornerstone Arts Centre, Didcot, 25 Station Road, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 7NE
All Floyd – The Best of Pink Floyd 2026 Tour

About All Floyd – The Best of Pink Floyd 2026 Tour

The amazing All Floyd are back in Didcot for another show! Their 2026 tour brings the very best of Pink Floyd, according to the Performing Rights Society’s top 20 most-played list.

It includes classic tracks from Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, Animals, The Division Bell, Relics, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, Meddle and The Endless River.

With 9 immensely talented musicians, a stunning light and laser show, deeply engaging video, and world-class quadraphonic sound system, it’s no wonder All Floyd have rightly earned the reputation of creating one of the best experiences of Pink Floyd.

Thanks to their unsurpassed attention to detail, they are considered by many to be the most authentic Pink Floyd tribute act you can find. It’s no surprise they have been selling out theatres since their first show in 2018.

This is definitely a show not to miss!

Reviews

“Over 30 years I’ve seen many Pink Floyd tribute bands, including the iconic Australian Pink Floyd and can honestly say last night’s performance was the best and most true to the original gig I have been to!”

“Incredible performance by the whole group. I’ve seen dozens of Pink Floyd tribute acts including Australian Pink Floyd but yours was spectacular, note for note perfection.”

“The visuals and lighting were as impressive as the music, adding to the atmosphere and bringing the music to life in a way that fully engaged everyone in the venue.”

“The closest thing vocally and musically to the real thing. These guys are the best you will see.”

“Has to be one of the finest bands playing Pink Floyd.”
