This year the festival will run for the whole weekend and for the first time in 11 years<br /> there will be a Sunday stage. Organisers are tight lipped about this year’s headline acts other than to<br /> say that one of them is a band from the Noughties with a string of hits and they played the pyramid<br /> stage at Glastonbury in the 2000’s, but there, as always, is more to come.</p> <p>Tickets and details at <a href="http://www.rugfest.org">www.rugfest.org</a></p>2019-06-212019-06-24en-USWallingford0https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/posts/event/rugfest/freeen-USExternal Eventsai1ec-4451@www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk2022-03-19T18:16:17ZWallingford Blues and Beer Festival<div class="ai1ec-event-avatar alignleft timely"><img src="https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screenshot-from-2019-03-24-20-29-07-300x100.png" width="300" height="100" /></div><p>“The Blues is Back in Town”… in true rock n roll style Wallingford Blues & BeerFestival will rise again from the ashes thanks to a partnership with fellow music promoters Rugfest, on Friday 21 st June 2019.</p> <p>The festival’s 26 year venue, the old Regal Cinema, was bursting at the seams and easily reached its maximum 500 capacity during the last three events, but sadly closed in 2017. Maybe this was a sign to move to somewhere bigger and better? Forcing the event to cancel at the last minute two years ago was a massive blow, notwithstanding the considerable losses leaving no reserves to invest in a new site.<br /> Such a shame after giving away over £40,000 to local charities since its inception..! As the festival’s notoriety has grown over the years, and created a huge impression nationally on the UK blues scene, it’s no wonder that the call from both locals and countrywide blues fans to re-establish the festival has been heart-warming. This opportunity given by Rugfest to host the festival for one night on Friday 21 st June<br /> 2019, at their Wallingford Sports Trust site, could ensure the future of the event for another 26 years.</p> <p>‘Brothers in arms’, ‘scrum down’, ‘pitch perfect’ with an outstanding ‘line-out’ headed by 1970’s chart toppers and British blues impresarios the Climax Blues Band. The evening event will host three bands with Hip Route finishing the stage set, then music continues indoors with an open-mic and R&B set to the early hours. The Papa George Band will open on stage at 7pm followed by headliners Climax Blues Band. Gates open 5pm until late with plenty of beer and fodder accompaniment and this year there is no 500 attendee limit on ticket sales!</p> <p>Wallingford Blues & Beer Festival could build on this year to be a stand-alone event again and, with a bit of 20-20 vision, be restored next year to even more glory than its last six sell-out nights promised. This is a great chance to be part of a new and exciting rebirth of a famous event.</p> <hr /> <p>For more information visit <a href="http://www.bluesandbeer.co.uk">www.bluesandbeer.co.uk</a> and <a href="http://www.rugfest.org">www.rugfest.org</a></p> <p>Contact details: Geoff Goddard <a href="mailto:geoff@bluesandbeer.co.uk">geoff@bluesandbeer.co.uk</a> 07747 606 673</p>2019-06-212019-06-22en-USWallingford07747 606 673; geoff@bluesandbeer.co.uk; http://www.bluesandbeer.co.uk0https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/posts/event/wallingford-blues-and-beer-festival/freethumbnail;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screenshot-from-2019-03-24-20-29-07-150x150.png;150;150;1,medium;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screenshot-from-2019-03-24-20-29-07-300x100.png;300;100;1,large;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screenshot-from-2019-03-24-20-29-07.png;590;196;,full;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screenshot-from-2019-03-24-20-29-07.png;837;278;en-USExternal Eventsai1ec-4784@www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk2022-03-19T18:16:17ZSinodun Players present Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood<p><strong>It will soon be Pantomime season in Wallingford and production is underway!</strong></p> <p><strong>Sinodun Players present Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood</strong> – a rollicking good tale of derring-do in the Forest of Sherwood.</p> <p>A much loved English legend, combined with traditional pantomime fun, as Robin and his trusted band of Merry Men try to outfox the baddy we love to hate!</p> <p>Can Robin thwart the plans of the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham?

Posada is an old Mexican tradition retelling the story of Mary and Joseph as they travel from house to house asking for a room for the night. It starts out in the community and ends on Christmas Eve at the church.</p> <p>Modern day Posada uses nativity figures of Mary and Joseph. Each Dorchester host enjoys the chance symbolically to welcome the figures into their home with the real message of Christmas. Look out for the figures in Dorchester windows, and join others at the Abbey for Advent Sunday; the Posada Party on 12 December (see poster); or at the Crib Service on Christmas Eve, when the figures will feature.

Our special focus is on shops, pubs and trades, and the families engaged in them, in some cases over several generations. We also draw on oral history and local memories to show how things have changed, especially in the last few decades.<br /> We hope that many residents will bring their own memories and memorabilia, so that we can take the project forward. We are very grateful to those who have already shared their stories.</p> <p>Looking forward, the speaker on April 24th will be Tony Hadland on ‘Covert Catholics of the Dorchester area’.</p> <p>Visitors and new members are always very welcome to our talks and outings.<br /> Margot Metcalfe, Chairman</p>Europe/London2019-03-27T19:30:00en-USDorchester Village Hall0https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/posts/event/historical-society-the-history-of-pubs-shops-and-businesses-in-dorchester-2/freeen-USHistorical Society,Regular Event,Special EventMembers free, £31ai1ec-1183@www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk2022-03-19T18:16:17ZMobile LibraryEurope/London2019-03-28T14:55:00Europe/London2019-03-28T15:15:00WEEKLY2THMOen-USWar Memorial0https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/posts/event/mobile-library/freeen-USRegular Eventai1ec-3257@www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk2022-03-19T18:16:17ZBerinsfield bereavement group meeting<blockquote><p>My role is to run bereavement groups across the county to support people over the age of 55/60 who have been bereaved.

The talk will be illustrated with plant material and various sundries.<br /> After a couple of reincarnations from Firecrest Nursery and Green Farm Plants, Marina finally emerged as Phoenix Perennial Plants in 2002. Phoenix is sited in a cold, wet frost pocket so plants have to be extremely hardy and tolerate winter wet. Phoenix earns medals vicariously by supplying some of the top garden designers with unusual plants for the Chelsea Flower Show and has won ‘Best in Show’ several times!

Some others who were Catholic at heart conformed outwardly to the Church of England and were known as ‘church papists’. This talk reveals how recusants and church papists ensured the secretive survival of Catholicism in Oxfordshire and Berkshire during the long period in which ‘the old faith’ was outlawed. It also incorporates a more detailed look at the recusants of Dorchester and district.</p> <p>Born 1949 in Reading, Tony is a retired chartered building surveyor, information scientist, operational risk manager and museum administrator, who has also been a freelance broadcaster. Today he is a historian specialising in bicycle history, Thames Valley recusancy and family history. He has lived most of his life in Berkshire and Oxfordshire and has been chairman of the Oxfordshire Local History Association for the past seven years. He was previously vice chairman and journal editor of the Oxfordshire Family History Society.

This revealed significant discoveries from virtually every period, allowing for the reconstruction of the various ways in which the inhabitants of Didcot have lived over the last 10,000 years. The evidence is in many respects representative of changes that can be seen over much of southern Britain. This talk will introduce the prehistoric discoveries made at Great Western Park and discuss how they help us understand the lives of our ancestors.</p> <p>A selection of artefacts found at Great Western Park will also be on display.</p> <p>Alex Davies obtained his PhD in 2016 on Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement and society in the Thames Valley. He has since worked in post-excavation at Oxford Archaeology, primarily analysing and writing up prehistoric excavations and pottery.

That changed in 1843, when a seven-man Oxford crew won an unlikely victory and rowing displaced cricket as the pre-eminent summer sporting activity. In between, an unusual alliance of Town & Gown had seen Thames’ watermen and boatbuilders – some immortalised in fiction – crucially equipping and training the early Oxford crews.</p> <p>Mark Davies is an Oxford local historian, guide, and author with an especial interest in the history and literature of Oxford’s waterways. He has lived on a residential narrowboat on the Oxford Canal since 1992 and has led towpath walks in Oxford for 20 years. Most of his talks focus on the waterways of Oxford, including literary themes (especially Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’, on which he has spoken as far afield as India), but his other distinctive specialties include: Oxford Castle; 400 hundred years of the Botanic Garden; and the local contributions to the origins of hot-air ballooning. He is currently assisting the Museum of Oxford in preparation for its reopening in 2020.</p> <p><em>October talk: Professor Malcolm Airs ‘William and Jessie Macfarlane and their Mission for Dorchester’. </em></p> <p><em>Visitors and new members are always very welcome to our talks and outings.</em></p>Europe/London2019-09-25T19:30:00en-USDorchester Village Hall0https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/posts/event/historical-society-4/freethumbnail;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/image5-150x150.jpg;150;150;1,medium;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/image5-300x204.jpg;300;204;1,large;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/image5.jpg;590;402;,full;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/image5.jpg;673;458;en-USHistorical Society,Regular Event,Special EventMembers free, visitors £31ai1ec-4738@www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk2022-03-19T18:16:17ZWallingford Gardening Club – November Meeting<div class="ai1ec-event-avatar alignleft timely"><img src="https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/daffodil2559-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" /></div><p>Beauties and Mysteries of the Burren – A presentation by Stephen Waters and Clive Daws.</p> <p>Those who have visited the Burren in the west of Ireland know it is a very unique area, with a wide range of remarkably beautiful plants.

The cost of garden visits depends on how much the owners charge.</p> <p>While Mat was at Wisley he was introduced to gardener and writer Christopher Lloyd and spent subsequent weekends volunteering in his garden, Great Dixter. So when he finished at Kew, there was only one place he wanted to be. He went to see Fergus Garrett, head gardener at Dixter, and started work almost immediately. He says “Dixter is gardened in a creative and inventive way, so we were constantly trying new things”.<br /> After that, in 2010 Mat moved to Malverleys, a private estate in Hampshire, where he is developing and redesigning the gardens. He gave us a talk on Melverleys in November 2016. Mat is now regarded as one of a handful of top-echelon gardeners working in Britain today.</p>Europe/London2019-10-16T19:30:00en-USAbbey Guest HouseAbbey Guest House @ Abbey Guest House0https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/posts/event/culham-and-district-horticultural-society-mat-reese-the-art-of-a-flower-border/freethumbnail;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Dorchester-Abbey-150x150.jpg;150;150;1,medium;https://www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Dorchester-Abbey.jpg;267;189;en-USculham-horticultural-society,Regular Event,Special Event1ai1ec-4785@www.dorchester-on-thames.co.uk2022-03-19T18:16:17ZHouse of Wessex public open day<p>The next Public Open Day will be held on <strong>Sunday 20<sup>th</sup> October 10am-3pm</strong>.</p> <p>Come along to celebrate the opening of the House of Wessex building to the public, and marvel at the stunning craftmanship.

William MacFarlane (Vicar from 1856 until his death in 1885), and his sister Jessie totally transformed Dorchester from a religiously-divided and economically backward village to become a centre for the High Church movement and a regenerated community. Using their wealth inherited from trade in the East India Company, amongst many other initiatives they completed the restoration of the Abbey, built a new Vicarage and School, founded a missionary college and provided the isolated hamlet of Burcot with a new church and school combined. Their legacy is all around us today in the village.</p> <p>Looking forward, the talk on November 27th will be Tim Healey on ‘A 17th Century Christmas’.</p> <p>Visitors and new members are always very welcome to our talks and outings.

Shaun will be joined (performance commitments permitting) by Patricia Hodge (“A Very English Scandal”, “Miranda”, “Downton Abbey”); Sally Phillips (“Bridget Jones” and sequels, “Miranda”, “Smack the Pony”); Roger Allam (“Rutherford and Sons” National Theatre, “Endeavour”). “the support, over the years, of so many notable celebrities is what gives the evening that magical extra ingredient” (Sandra Devaney, Committee Chair).</p> <p>Raising a record £44,000 towards the cost of Macmillan Cancer Support services in Oxfordshire last year shows the generosity of our audience and supporters says Belinda Hanson (in charge of sponsorship and advertising). The committee hope to once again raise a substantial sum for Macmillan and continue to be their largest single fund-raising event in the county. Funds are ring-fenced to support local Macmillan services for the people of Oxfordshire.</p> <p>The “Celebration of Christmas” concert is now in its 23rd year “often copied never bettered” (founder Petronella Seccombe) attracts people from around the country and abroad because of the magical setting, sublime music and the variety of readings by talented celebrity guests. During this light hearted but contemplative evening, presided over by the Bishop, guests will enjoy hearing the re-telling of the Christmas story through a mixture of traditional music, carols and mainly non-scriptural readings.</p> <p>Amidst the flickering candle light and descending silence, a chorister from Christ Church Cathedral choir will open with the spine-tingling notes to “Once in Royal David’s City” with wonderful organ music provided by Cathedral organist Steven Grahl. Our choir, The Oxford Bach Soloists (“a superlative group of singers” The Oxford Times), conducted by multi-award winning Tom Hammond-Davies, their Founder and Artistic Director, will sing a mixture of favourite festive choral pieces mixed with carefully chosen less well-known works. Loyal supporters and newcomers alike will this year be treated to a new carol: Questions, A Lullaby Carol with music by David Goode and words written by the local librettist Dr. Francis Warner, Emeritus Fellow, St. Peter’s College, University of Oxford one of the last pupils of C.S.

There will also be an opportunity for members to express their views on any Legion matters as well as reforming the Branch.</p> <p>If we are successful we will then be able to continue the Remembrance Day parade as in previous years.

Some, notably Abingdon and Wallingford, are very old, built initially to support the wool industry: they were the only stone structures across the river between Oxford and London Bridge until the middle of the eighteenth century. An early bridge at Shillingford is more speculative and could be one of the very few bridges across the Thames that ceased operation for several centuries. It was rebuilt, along with those at Clifton Hampden and Sutton Courtenay, as part of the road transport revolution late in the eighteenth century.</p> <p>Keith Parry, after thirty year’s research experience in the agrochemical industry, ‘retired’ to develop his interest in history, gaining a Diploma and then an MSc in English Local History at Oxford University. As a voluntary researcher for the Maidenhead Heritage Centre, he worked with the Stanley Spencer Gallery on the history of beer and malt manufacture in Cookham, based on the remaining buildings and the paintings and writings of Stanley Spencer. This research was published as ‘Stanley Spencer and the Cowls of Cookham’, Berkshire Old and New 2019, pp.16-33. As well as lecturing at Oxford, Keith wrote on ‘Parliamentary Enclosure in Oxfordshire’ for The Historical Atlas of Oxfordshire, building on his MSc dissertation: ‘The Defence of Cookham Commons from 1800 to 1850’. Current research includes the history and maintenance of early wooden bridges over the river Thames, an article on Marlow’s Wooden Bridge 1180 to 1820 is forthcoming in Construction History. Keith is also Treasurer and Trustee of The Historic Towns Trust; an atlas of Oxford will be published later this year.</p> <p><strong>Looking ahead: </strong></p> <ul> <li>22nd April: Liz Woolley on ‘Leisure and Entertainment in Victorian and Edwardian Oxford’.</li> <li>19th May, guided tour of the Fairmile Hospital site at Cholsey, led by Ian Wheeler.

We’re delighted to stage our first full-scale concert since lockdown! It’s also the first outing of our new Musical Director David Wordsworth, who with a wealth of experience in conducting and music publishing, introduces Bob Chilcott’s Requiem (2010) to the choir. Former King’s Singer Chilcott is now one of Britain’s leading choral composers and the choir are really getting to grips with this new challenge. The programme is completed with Haydn’s sparkling Nelson Mass. Irish soprano Iǘnó Connolly heads an international quartet of soloists, and the Elgar Orchestra complete the scene. The performance takes place on Saturday 19 March at 7.30pm at Dorchester Abbey. Altogether, you’ll get something special!
