All Upcoming Events
Moonrakers is an Oxford-based group of four musicians, some from the classical and some from the folk tradition. The fact that the band “just OOZES quality” (Living Tradition) is down to the careful arrangements and selection of tunes and songs, presenting “exquisite music” (BBC). Now with five albums under their belt and described as “startlingly talented” (Oxford Times), Moonrakers provide “truly wonderful” (Wycombe Festival) informal evenings of musical excellence and humour.
The choice of material is largely from the Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English traditions, reflecting a love of traditional and contemporary tunes and songs ‘in the idiom’.
All proceeds from ticket sales are going to support Restore
We’re thrilled to announce that Hollywood star Jeremy Irons will be bringing the hammer down on a wide range of money-spinning lots. The University of Oxford college, St Hugh’s, will be our hosts for an elegant evening at Restore’s largest fundraiser of the year.
There will be at least 50 auction lots for sale. They have been generously donated by local people and businesses. All sale proceeds will go to fund Restore’s valuable work which helped just under 1,000 people last year with their recovery from mental ill health.
Our fantastic promises include … two tickets for an England Six Nations rugby international, two tickets for the WOMAD music festival, two return rail tickets anywhere on the GWR network, a week in Tuscany and many more. Full details of the lots as at 19th February can be seen here . Take a look, there are some amazing items to bid for. If you’re not able to come along to the auction, you can lodge a bid beforehand. Email fundraising@restore.org.uk with your bid.
Buy your ticket now! You’ve got to be in it to win it for some fantastic experiences and items. And tickets are limited.
Included in the ticket price will be canapés made by celebrity chef Sophie Grigson and a complementary glass of wine. Also the chance to mingle and grab a selfie with our guest auctioneer Jeremy Irons.
We’re looking forward to a brilliant night out. Restore is a fantastic cause. And we can guarantee you that you’ll have fun. You may even go home with a stellar auction lot.
We had so much fun at this event in 2018.
Our 8 riders (we call them the ‘magnificent eight’) raised just over £3,000 which is equivalent to £375 per rider. This was a marvellous achievement, which we are determined to better in 2019.
Are you interested? You set off from the beautiful Oxfordshire University Rugby Club on either the 25 mile, 50 or 80 mile routes around Oxfordshire. The routes are clearly signposted and there’s no pressure in terms of the pace that you’re required to ride at.
All we ask is that in return for free entry paid by us, you raise at least £250 in sponsorship from your friends and family. We give you advice and support with raising the funds and setting up your fundraising pages.
Please don’t hesitate. It’s a fun way to raise funds for us and a great way for you to get fit.
Give it a go! For more details, please contact henry.richardson@restore.org.uk or call 01865 455822

Create your own furry felt creature to take pride of place on your mantle – or your keys if you fall in love with the little critter and must have it near you at all times!

Needle felting is a simple and effective art where you can mould wool to create 3D shapes using a special needle. It’s quite easy to learn, and allows you to be as creative as you dare! The needles used are very sharp so we don’t recommend that children under 12 do the needle felting, instead the workshop will be divided so that younger children can stitch their own felt critter, and older children and adults can needle felt theirs.
A drink and snack are included in the price, all welcome and everything supplied!

Is it even Halloween if you don’t have a pumpkin? Create your own spooky pumpkin design in this carving workshop that yours to take home to display outside or inside. We will be using pumpkin-carving kits to scoop out the squishy innards, cut through the tops, and carve your design, so children will be carefully monitored to make sure there are no accidents.
For younger children there will be paints for you to choose from to decorate your pumpkin.
