Adderbury Running Club has kept going throughout the pandemic. During lockdown 1, we had to run individually, and it wasn’t until halfway through last year that we could start running in groups again, albeit groups of no more than six. During lockdown 3, we could exercise in pairs and every Sunday morning a small number of enthusiastic runners turned up even in the very worst of weather conditions to set off in groups of two at 10-minute intervals.
The Centre is now open to groups that are permitted to meet, in line with the latest Government guidelines. We look forward to welcoming back our regular groups, but do have availability for any new ones. Our hire charges are just £6 per hour. If you would like to book the Centre please contact Kerry Davison on 0788 1697470 or message via our Facebook page @Lucyplackettcentre.
It is hoped that by the end of August The Institute will be open for business so planning for the Summer Show is going ahead. Please click here to see a copy of the Schedules.
We have opened, as per the government guidance, for limited numbers, browsing and PC use. Initially there will be reduced hours as below:
Tuesday: 11.00 am to 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Friday: 11.00 am to 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm
It will be covid safe with a one way system and screens in place. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Welcome to the Focal 100 Club! It is a great way to support your local library while having a bit of a flutter! Here’s how it works.
You agree to pay £2.00 per month or £24.00 per anum. This buys you one membership number which is entered in the monthly draw. (of course you can always buy more membership numbers if you wish!) All participants must be over 16 years of age. The draw will take place on the last day of the month.
The prize money will be 25% of the membership fees received in that month. The remaining 75% goes to Focal to help keep our library open. The winner each month will be sent a cheque for their winnings.
Membership forms can be obtained from the Library or downloaded from our website – Adderburyfocal.org.uk.
The Home Library Service is available to people who are unable to visit the library themselves through frailty, short term illness, infirmity or a disability and have no other means of getting access to reading materials.
How it works
Contact us to discuss the kind of books, DVDs, audio books that you like to read or enjoy. We then arrange for a library volunteer to deliver these to you in your home.
To register for this service or for further information call the Home Library Service on 01865 810259 or Catherine Drake Adderbury Library Manager on 01295 810545 or email: homelibraryservice@oxfordshire.gov.uk.
