About Prof Alice Roberts – From Cell to Civilisation

A new, groundbreaking, spectacular theatrical production live on stage.

Humankind, genetics, and archaeology

Prof Alice Roberts – From Cell to Civilisation

A new, groundbreaking, spectacular theatrical production live on stage.

Who are we? Where do we come from? What does it mean to be human?

For thousands of years, such questions have been explored through philosophy and religion, but the answers now seem to lie firmly within the grasp of an empirical approach to the world and our place within it.

By peering deep into our past and dragging clues out into the light, science can now provide us with some of the answers to the questions that people have always asked.

From the first spark of life on Earth 3.8 billion years ago, we track the evolution and connectivity of all living things.

Join us as we follow in the footsteps of our ancestors from Africa into Asia and around the Indian coastline, to Australia, north into Europe and Siberia, and, eventually, to the last continents to be peopled: the Americas. We’ll meet some other human species along the way.

We’ll examine the sophistication of some of the earliest civilisations, and we’ll discuss how we know what we know and why we think what we think, what the science can tell us. This is the story of us, from a single cell to civilisation.

Prof Alice Roberts said, “I’m thrilled to be bringing a new stage show to the UK in November, exploring the story of us, from Cell to Civilisation. Blending archaeology, evolutionary biology and genetics and using theatrical sound, light and imagination to bring the science to life in a way that you’ve never seen before.

“We’ll be tracing our origins back, not just to the dawn of our own species, but to the origin of life on this planet. That’s four billion years of evolution in one evening. I’m really excited about this, I’ve taken this show to Australia, to Canada, and now it’s coming to the Uk in November. I can’t wait to share this story with you.”

Bellowhead

About Bellowhead

Bellowhead celebrate the 20th anniversary of their full-length debut album Burlesque in 2026. The 11-piece folk outfit made a watertight case for ‘big being beautiful’ with the release of Burlesque which features songs including London Town, Frog’s Legs and Dragon’s Teeth and Rigs of The Time.

Showcasing their unique blend of traditional English folk music with a modern big-band sound, Bellowhead went on after to record another 4 studio albums (selling over a quarter of a million copies), were the proud recipients of 2 x silver discs and won a staggering 8 x BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards before calling it a day in 2016.

After a hiatus and prompted by a record-breaking online stream during the pandemic, the band reunited for a joyous sold-out tour in 2022 and repeated the success in 2024 as they celebrated their own 20th anniversary.

Both tours reaffirmed their status as one of the biggest and most in demand UK folk acts.

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.

Yotam will be cooking live on stage, sharing the inspiration behind this beautifully crafted collection of brand-new vegetable-forward meals, tray-baked options, and delicious desserts—all designed to be made in under 30 minutes, cooked in one pot, or prepped ahead.

Yotam Ottolenghi: Simple Too LIVE

In an evening dedicated to simplifying the way we cook, Yotam will discuss how Simple Too carves out space for us to relax in the kitchen, bringing recipes to life on stage with colour, flavour, and joy.

He’ll reveal how even the simplest meals can feel full of abundance, sharing stories from his culinary journey and the philosophy that guides the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen.

A night founded on the Ottolenghi ideology: creativity made achievable for our everyday noisy world. Expect to leave inspired to embrace simplicity in your own kitchen with the pantry you’ve already built.

Yotam will answer your most-asked culinary questions, including: How do you make weeknight cooking more exciting? What are the building blocks of a well-stocked pantry? And how can simple ingredients create impressive flavour?

Yotam Ottolenghi is back to prove that flavourful, impressive cooking can be Simple Too!

Yotam Ottolenghi said, “Simple Too is an extension of Simple, but the two years I spent working on it also felt like a response to where our lives are right now, in this noisy and bustling world; a world full of options that can sometimes feel distracting or numbing.”

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.

The Big Christmas Assembly 2026

About The Big Christmas Assembly 2026

Join James B Partridge for The Big Christmas Assembly 2026 – the nostalgic, feel-good festive singalong that brings your childhood Christmases flooding back. Packed with more festive classics, throwback mashups, and laugh-out-loud stories than you can throw a glitter-glue halo at.

What began as playful performances for his pupils has grown into a nationwide phenomenon – from TikTok fame to closing the field at Glastonbury Festival. With recent appearances on Virgin Radio, BBC Radio 2, The One Show and Songs of Praise, James has never been more in demand – and with the majority of his 2025 Christmas tour selling out well in advance, early booking is strongly advised.

Whether you’re organising the work Christmas party, planning that festive night out with friends, or simply treating yourself to the perfect pre-Christmas warm-up – this is guaranteed to get you, and everyone around you, well and truly in the spirit. Mulled wine in hand, the whole room singing Calypso Carol like it’s the last day of term – the kind of communal magic that lingers all the way to Boxing Day.

James says: “I’ve always loved how the songs we sang as children at Christmas brought so much joy. This show is a celebration of those moments – from assembly halls to nativity plays – and I can’t wait to see audiences relive them together.”

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.
