Our popular Round and Round community art workshops are back for spring 2026!

This week our sessions kicked off and we're inviting everyone to join local artist Anne-Marie Cadman in transforming former floral frames into a spring display for the iconic Banbury Cross roundabout.

The sessions are free to all, just come along to unit 65/66 at Castle Quay, Banbury to help us upcycle the frames. It’s all about sustainability, creativity, and community spirit.

Come and be a co-creator of this colourful transformation. Anyone wanting to book in a group can contact wellbeing@cherwell-dc.gov.uk or call 01295 221980 to secure their place.

Not sure what to grow or where to start? We have some top tips on how to start and make wildlife friendly gardens! Check out,www.cherwell.gov.uk/connect-with-nature
