New director Paul Cox’s programme had all the expected stuff – great Gang Show intro, dancing girls, plenty of stand-up from Gary Leonardi (some very funny, some not Gary) and loads of diverse music from Beatles to Abba – but also a brilliant Blues session with the Cox brothers in fine voice all backed by the splendid Warwick Junction band.
We live in the village and are running an online raffle with amazing prizes- including a £10,000 bathroom among many other amazing prizes. Please click here to see the full list of prizes and how to enter the raffle.

This achievement would not have been possible without our incredible customers – your support and loyalty mean everything to us, and we are so grateful to share this journey with you.
St Mary’s Church would like to thank everyone who attended Adderbury’s annual garden party on 6 September at the Manor House in Mill Lane. The congregation of St Mary’s put on a variety of stalls including a raffle, ‘bits and bobs’ stall and Hector Wells performed two Punch and Judy shows which people of all ages enjoyed. We had a record attendance this year, with everyone enjoying a slice of homemade cake and tea in the Adderbury sunshine.
