Vegetable Show: This will be open to include growers with allotment plots in the Oxford area. It will be great to share our growing passion with fellow allotment enthusiasts.

The Elder Stubbs Vegetable Show 2018
The Vegetable Show will be in our event marquee which can be found on the lawn area in front of the Restore buildings.
Elder Stubbs Festival: An excellent family friendly occasion with many local people attending and in the past there have been lots of stalls selling interesting items, community groups advocating for causes which they enthusiastically support, a number of groups and musicians performing on 2 stages, face painting, raptor displays, multicultural food, circus acts, face painting, swing boats etc. What is described does vary from year to year depending on the availability of stall holders and artists wanting to take part.
This Festival is organised by Restore and they work hard to convey what their charitable work promotes in supporting members of our community who are recovering from mental illness and to reduce the associated stigma.
