Next Week in Abingdon: Art, Music, and a Quiz


Featuring another of Abingdon’s many notice boards — this one is outside Pedal Power in the Vineyard. Here are some of the upcoming events that caught my eye in the next week. There should be plenty of time to get on your bike for these events.

The Abingdon Artists Spring Exhibition is at St Helens Church from Monday 10th March to Saturday 15th March.  This is a show of recent works by many local artists. There will be original artwork and cards for sale and daily demonstrations.

On Saturday 8th March at 7:30 PM at St Helen’s Church the Abingdon & District Musical Society have a concert featuring:
Beethoven – Leonora No. 3 Overture
Dvorak – Violin Romance in F minor (Kate Bailey)
Brahms – Symphony No. 4 in E minor.

There will be a Charity Quiz Night supporting the Nasio Trust on Thursday 13th March at the Loose Cannon Brewery. For £4 per person you can test your knowledge for a local good cause.

The Abingdon Concert Band will be performing on Saturday 15th March and will introduce David Batsman as the Twelfth Musical Director (the 11th regeneration). The programme features music from Doctor Who, Star Trek (John Williams), Vaughan Williams, Nigel Hess, The Greatest Showman, and more.

If you’re reading this after March 15th, 2025, don’t worry — time may have slipped away and unless you are Doctor Who you won’t be able to get it back, but there is always more to come in Abingdon.
