On a glorious afternoon at the equally glorious Banbury Cricket Club two sides of assorted capabilities from Adderbury and Milton took the field to vie for the 32nd time for the coveted Millennium Trophy. We were joined by a good number of Adderbury/Milton supporters hoping to see us retain the trophy, including our old vicar Stephen Fletcher and his wife– thank you all for coming!

The Adderbury Christmas Market is once again fast approaching and we’re sure you’re eager to get the date in your diary at the earliest opportunity! This year the great event will as usual be taking place at our wonderful St Mary’s Church in the village. A perfect venue for a truly lovely community event on the run up to Christmas. There will be stalls galore and the opportunity to buy teas, coffees, mulled wine and cakes, and of course to visit Santa in his grotto. The market opens to the public at 11.00 am and closes at 4.00 pm.
The Carducci String Quartet will be playing in St Mary’s Church at 6.00 pm. They will be playing the Haydn String Quartet, op.76 no.4 “Sunrise”, Glass String Quartet no.3 Mishima and Beethoven String Quartet, op.59 no.2. Tickets at £20.00 are available at the door.
