DRIVING UKRAINE
Deddingtonian Fynn Watt, rally-cross competitor, has channelled his passion for motorsport into a life-saving mission. After the war started in April 2022, he founded DrivingUkraine, a charity whose the mission would be to deliver aid and essential supplies to medical teams on Ukraine’s frontline. Fynn explains, ‘at the start of the war, I couldn’t just stand by and watch’, and within 2 weeks he was driving a van of supplies to Ukraine. That mission has grown into the delivery of more than 224 vehicles, 44 convoys and over £1.5M+ fundraised! Every month 7 or 8 refurbished vehicles, including fully equipped ambulances, leave Deddington and are driven to Ukraine by local volunteers. They are handed over to volunteer medics and paramedics, humanitarian bomb-disposal teams, combat medics, Ukrainian hospitals, and others.
UKRAINE SOLIDARITY JAZZ BAND
Ukraine Solidarity Jazz Band was formed in January 2023 by jazz musicians in Berkshire and Oxfordshire – vocalists Fleur Stevenson, Katrina Likhtman, and Steve Foster, pianist Maff Potts, guitarist Robert Otwinowski, drummer Ben Robins, Kyrill Avilov on the saxophone he brought with him into exile after the invasion, and Deddington’s own Steve Kershaw on bass. The Band’s mission is to stand with Ukrainian people, to fundraise for Ukraine related projects, to help people stay connected during these difficult times, to bring a message of love and celebrate camaraderie between British and Ukrainian people through music.
Join us in the stunning Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Deddington on Sunday 14 September, 7:00-9:30pm, for an evening of great music in support of Ukraine and let the soulful sounds of jazz fill this beautiful venue as we unite in support of those affected by war. Every note played and every donation made will contribute directly towards buying, refurbishing and delivering vehicles to Ukraine’s frontlines, bringing heroes home, saving lives in the field, and bringing hope, healing, and critical assistance where it’s needed most. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Tour of North Aston Organics

Join Mark for a tour of the North Aston Organics farm.

North Aston Organics was started by Mark and Ginny Stay. After numerous false starts (chartered surveying, the army, pharmaceutical packing, and selling juggling balls on Eastbourne pier), Mark thought he would turn his allotmenteering hobby into a job. Five years later, after working with various horticulture projects, we were ready to start, but where? Well, to cut a long story short, we found some land to rent with a supportive landowner and got stuck in.
Like most people starting a business, we were blindly optimistic, but we had ‘done the course’ and gained some experience. The fact that we had a two-year-old in tow and another baby on the way meant failure was not an option. Also, they say career paths often skip a generation, so we were hoping a bit of green fingered-ness would be inherited from Ginny’s Kentish fruit growing grandparents and Mark’s Isle of Wight gardener grandfather.
​And suddenly more than 25 years have passed and here we are, still growing as wide a range of vegetables as possible, from Aubergines to Zucchini (sorry, courgettes, but what else begins with ‘z’?). And now we have a great team working alongside us – seven people both full- and part-time, who share the same drive to grow delicious, healthy vegetables, and sell them locally.

With refreshments – delicious cake provided by Yurt chef Andrew. Free entry, £5 donation please for tea or coffee and cake. This should be a stimulating and informative evening – we hope to see you there! 7pm at Nicholsons Nurseries and Landscaping, North Aston, OX25 6HL.

Mikron Theatre - Hush Hush! - A Bletchley Story
2025-06-20 07:00 - 21:00 UTC
Mikron invites you to enter a world of secrets, songs and cyphers as we get to know the heroes of Hut 3.
In a non-descript mansion house, in a non-descript town, a group of extra-ordinary men and women worked to provide intelligence that would help to win the war.
But shhhhhh, you’d better keep it under your hat, because as far as the rest of the world is concerned, Bletchley Park doesn’t exist
Peggy Valentine arrives at Bletchley in 1940, 18 years old, headstrong and gifted. Finding herself in a world of boffins, soldiers and debutantes, Peggy has to shoulder the burden of high pressure war work whilst navigating a new world of feuds, friendships and growing up in a frame of absolute secrecy.
But what of the world beyond Bletchley? As the war rages on in Europe, the stakes are raised for Peggy and her friends as they work to protect their loved ones fighting abroad.
