Thankyou to Sarah for letting me know more about the fun, games and crafts at 18 Bury Street.

Willows has a new name — Paws & Play @ Willows

If you visit say hello to Harry, the black and white pup, who supervises the gaming and craft domain upstairs, that also spills downstairs,

and to to Lewie (the co-owner’s dog) – another reason to paws.

There are board games every day, with a bigger event every third weekend of the month.

Evening events, including murder mysteries, pendulum art, and BBQs.

Most events are non-profit, raising money for four local charities: Against Cancer, Nasio, OAS, and Cats Protection.

There are crafts, which included a look-a-like Bob Ross paint day.

They will help organise this summer’s Splash of Pink Day in the Market Square (Saturday 12th July) — and will be giving it a a new name after a public vote starting this Tuesday and ending on 28th April 2025. The short list is at Renaming Splash of Pink:
* Beyond the ribbon
* Paint Abingdon pink
* Get your pink on
* Abingdon Against Breast Cancer
