\nLooking for something to do in Abingdon this Saturday? It\u2019s Heritage Weekend! Check out the leaflets at the information stall on the Market Place for a full schedule of events. And if you have done Heritage Weekend lots of times then there are some new things:<\/p>\n

* Relive the iron age in the Abbey Buildings.
\n* Join the Abingdon Artists competition to paint or draw Abingdon and visit St Nic’s Church on Saturday afternoon to see the results.
\n* Kimber House – MG Car Club Museum – will be open,
\n* The Old Ticket Office, Culham, will be open,
\n* The Roysse Room has an exhibition called Connected Abingdon<\/em>.
\n
\n* At Unit 24, Bury Street, some enthusiasts were setting up a model of the Abingdon Branch Line and that will be open over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The theme in 2024 is “Routes, Networks, Connections. “<\/em><\/p>\n

See https:\/\/www.abingdonheritage.org.uk\/<\/a> for a fuller programme.
\n
\nOver the last three or four years, Heritage Weekend has not clashed with Ride and Stride but this Saturday it does. For all those ride and striders, or people sitting in or outside churches to welcome ride and striders, there should still be time for Heritage visits.
\n
\nThe Abibinit! riverside litter pick is also happening. <\/p>\n

This second Saturday of September could get very busy. Probably best not to try and do everything or you’ll burn a hole in the calendar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
