\nYou can start in the attic of the County Hall Museum, where there\u2019s an exhibition built from one person\u2019s memories which features among other objects: a lost toy elephant, a maternity jumper, and letters and photos from a relative who hoped to be a missionary in 1913. Each everyday object has a story, and Sarah Frodsham shares why they matter to her.
\n
\nStep out into the autumn air on Wednesday the 15th and head to Abingdon Baptist Church. The lights will be glowing, and Nilmini Roelens will be talking about ‘Solar Villages in Sri Lanka’. It\u2019s hosted by the Abingdon Carbon Cutters.
\n
\nThe very next night, Thursday the 16th, you\u2019ve got a choice.<\/p>\n

At the Unicorn Theatre<\/a>, ‘The Lost Trades’ bring folk harmonies with a touch of 1960s California to the medieval setting. Detta Kenzie is playing support.<\/p>\n

Or, if you\u2019d rather hear some local music in a brewery, head to the Loose Cannon Tap Room, where Cheap Petrol, Faith Healers, and Dave King are on the bill – thanks to Music in Abingdon.
\n
\nOn Saturday the 18th, the ‘Oxford Gospel Events Choir’ will fill Christ Church on Northcourt Road with harmonies, raising funds for ‘Family of Hope’, a school in Uganda. Just hand over \u00a310 at the door and let the music lift you up.
\n
\nOver the weekend and through half-term (check dates on their website), there\u2019s another sort of gathering just outside town. High Lodge Farm has plenty of pumpkins and activities for children on their Spooky Trail.
\n
\nOn Tuesday the 21st, it\u2019s ‘Books and Bakes’ at St Ethelwold\u2019s House. Tables piled with paperbacks and cake \u2014 and are you the one who goes home with more books than you can carry?
\n
\nAnd, on Saturday the 25th, the sound of Haydn\u2019s ‘The Creation’ fills St Helen\u2019s Church.<\/p>\n

The clocks go back an hour at 2am on Sunday, 26th October 2025. There\u2019ll be plenty more happening in Abingdon after that – but that\u2019s for another time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
