Our genial hosts of The Bell, Michelle and Rhys both have classical music degrees, and always wanted to bring their beloved music into the relaxed and accessible environment of their great pub – so The Bell Proms were born!
And what a fabulous show they put on……… We kicked off on Monday night with The Bell Folk Club’s open session of folk and classical, followed on Wednesday by the brilliant classical guitar and flute duo Nick and Rae. Then the wonderful Adderbury Ensemble brought never heard before sounds to the pub on Thursday night.
St Mary’s Church would like to thank everyone who attended Adderbury’s annual garden party at the Manor House in Mill Lane. The congregation of St Mary’s ran a variety of stalls and everyone enjoyed a slice of homemade cake and tea in the sunshine. The Punch and Judy shows were enjoyed by people of all ages. Go to Read More to see some photos of the day.
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!
