Calling All Local Artists

By Susan Byers Comment Closed
The annual Nettlebed Art & Craft show will be returning 01st - 02nd August 2026.  The 2025 show was a huge success with over 100 exhibits from nearly 50 local artists featured and offered for sale over the weekend. We are delighted to announce 31 works of art in total were sold. The weekend was again very well attended with over 650 visitors through the doors. This year we would like to attract more artists to exhibit their work.  The annual show invites artists living within a 20-mile radius of Nettlebed to display up to four paintings, with any theme or subject. So whether you like still-life or landscape, animals or florals, there is plenty to see.  The craft tables also proved popular with visitors.

Last year donations were made to the...

Free food caddy liners

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
Oxfordshire County Council are offering free rolls of food caddy liners to residents during December, through their Oxfordshire Recycling partnership with all Oxfordshire councils. Many households buy and eat more food over the festive period, and because of this, the amount of food waste collected goes up. Remember that food waste is not just wasted food, it also includes the inedible parts of the food we buy - peelings and bones as well as things like tea bags and coffee grounds. At this time of year households often have more sprout peelings, turkey bones and potato peelings to recycle. If you can't home-compost your food waste, recycling it using the food waste collection service is the best thing to do with it. Collect a free roll of caddy liners from any Oxfordshire Library in December (while stocks last!) ...
