What’s on
Charlbury Deli & Cafe
Community owned and run since
1991
‘Friends’ Inaugural Meeting 21/11/24
As many readers will know, the Deli & Café has recently lost its
long-serving manager not to mention a change in the chair of directors.
What you may not know is that the business was set up as a simple
limited company but has over 100 shareholders – and has always been seen more
as a community facility than a profit making enterprise for them (just as well!).
With major changes going on, both with us and elsewhere in the town, we
are reviewing the business operation to ensure it will continue to serve the
community – both as a facility and as an employer – we hope for another 30
years. And to help us plan the future
and maintain our place as part of the community, we’d like to set up a ‘user
group’ to provide us with feedback and ideas to help take things forward.
To that end, we’ll be holding an inaugural meeting at the D&C on Thursday
21 November from 6.30pm for 7.00 start.
This will be open to all, not just to our shareholders and those already
on our mailing list – so come and have a glass of wine (but please bring your
own glass in case we run out!) with us and a pre-Christmas chat – your chance
to tell us the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, what you’d like to see
us doing in the future, thoughts on opening hours, events – and anything else
that occurs to you.
We’d also love to hear from anyone who might be interested in
volunteering on particular aspects be they practical (e.g. re-decorating,
helping to run a market stall) or more on the business side (e.g. marketing)
but who doesn’t want the responsibility and time involved in becoming a
director. We are very open minded on
this at present but it would be good to have a list of people with relevant
skills we could call on for help as and when needed.
If you’d like to put something in writing beforehand, please do and send
it to directors@charlburydeli.cafe (can
be confidentially if you’d prefer).
And while I’m here – advance notice of late evening shopping and wine
tasting on 6 and 13 December…

Venue : The Shed, 9 Acres Lane, Charlbury, Oxfordshire. - not too far from the train station if

No experience necessary.
Age – this workshop would suit anyone from around 14 years old and upwards.
£85 per person – spaces are limited.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.
Come and learn how to silk screen print! In this one-day workshop you will learn how to
make a paper cut stencil for screen printing. There will be opportunity to work with some
existing designs before progressing on to making a two or even three colour print.
In the morning you will be making some screen prints on paper using existing designs to cut
as stencils. Once you have built up a bit of confidence, we will then start moving on to 2 and
3 colour prints. In the afternoon I will help you develop your own ideas for a print – source
materials to develop your design will be provided but feel free to bring your own images to
work from. The majority of prints will be printed on paper; however, you will also be able to
print your design onto a tea towel or a fabric tote bag towards the end of the day.
We will be using water based acrylic printing ink as well as craft knives to cut the stencils.
There will be a number of silk screens with different colours to work on through the day.
Wearing old clothes is advisable or bring an apron.
We will have a short break for lunch of around about 30 mins – please bring a packed lunch
with you.
About me : I am a Charlbury based artist and silk screen printer, a lot of my work is within

The 2025 Charlbury Beer Festival will take place on Saturday 28 June at Charlbury Cricket Club, from noon till late. There will be around 60 real ales, a variety of craft beers, a range of ciders and perries, wine, gin, and Pimm’s; a great selection of food (including vegan options); tea, cake and soft drinks; live music throughout; the Culture Club tent with its varied programme of performances and talks; children’s entertainment and activities; and high-octane sport with the World Aunt Sally Singles Championships.
All money raised by the Beer Festival is given out to community projects, both in the Charlbury area and overseas. We have now taken our total of funds raised for good causes to around £300,000. There have been donations to over fifty local organisations, ranging from Charlbury Primary School and the town’s Pre-School, to local sports clubs, Charlbury’s Day Centre and Community Centre, and overseas projects in Africa, India, South America and elsewhere.
We must thank those generous sponsors who finance the beers and the entertainment tents, and of course, the beers themselves, plus the many hours that committee members and other volunteers put in. Cheers all round!
Charlbury Cricket Club provides a glorious setting, just across the road from Charlbury Station. There are excellent all-day (including late night) bus and train services to and from Charlbury to Oxford, Chipping Norton, Reading, Witney, Worcester and London, so you don’t even need to drive if you want to have a drink.
To keep up to date with the festival, please visit our website and follow our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
