The Abingdon Drama Club’s Snow Queen finished its run this evening. A fantastic production: by turns haunting and genuinely funny. If you missed it, you missed something special.

But there’s plenty more happening in Abingdon.

The Giant Jumble Sale at Fitzharrys School takes place on Sunday 25 January. It’s a two-hour sale, with items priced to sell.

The next Agnostics Anonymous meeting, on Tuesday 27 January, will explore the interplay between drama, poetry, fiction and spiritual experience.

There’s been much recent talk of otter sightings around Abingdon. On Wednesday 28 January there will be a talk, The Otter in England, looking at our long history with otters, how we nearly lost them, how they returned, and what the future may hold.

Simon Mason in conversation with Eve Smith, this Thursday 29 January at Abingdon Library, is fully booked.

There are, however, a few places left for Nicki Thornton (formerly of Mostly Books), who after a successful run of younger reader novels now has a book for adults. She’ll be at Abingdon Library on Saturday 31 January.

Also at Abingdon Library, the sky in the Abingdon jigsaw – featured last week – is still outwitting some of the town’s best jigsaw solvers.
