We're rounding off the academic year with a night of live music from two brilliant local bands and our favourite DJ DACARTER PROJECT

Ad Astrid bring powerful alternative rock, blending grunge-inspired energy with soaring melodies, while For The Ages band mix house, funk, electronica, rock and folk influences to create a sound all their own.

Over the past year we've worked with some brilliant university students through placements, volunteering and creative projects. This gig is a chance to celebrate them and wish them well on whatever comes next!

Student or music lover come down to support local music scene!

Today 1st June Photography Club will be meeting at Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve for a golden hour photography session, capturing the landscape as the light becomes softer, warmer, and full of atmosphere.

We’ll explore how golden hour can transform ordinary scenes through:
•⁠ ⁠Warm natural light and long shadows
•⁠ ⁠Silhouettes and backlighting
•⁠ ⁠Texture, colour, and mood
•⁠ ⁠Composition using natural light direction
This session is all about slowing down, observing the changing light, and learning how timing can completely change a photograph.
Bring your camera (or phone), experiment with light, and capture the beauty of the evening glow.
