I did hear that the Old Anchor has closed, and can see no adverts for upcoming events. Recently it has been open mostly for music events. Music has been played there for about four years, with concerts, open mic nights, and ad-hoc jamming.

The Old Anchor is on land next to almshouses, and owned by Christ’s Hospital of Abingdon. It is leased and run by Greene King and has an interesting history. See https://www.abingdon.gov.uk/abingdon_buildings/old-anchor. It is an iconic Abingdon building beside the River Thames and should still have a bright future.
