is also a great way to relieve stress and South Oxfordshire has a variety
of arts and crafts events taking place during the summer.

of the UK's best arts festivals. Art in Action at Waterperry Gardens is
a bumper arts and crafts show held over a weekend.
Visitors to the show have the chance to view and interact with an array

Featuring traditional crafts, lively demonstrations, hands-on workshops
and live entertainment, 250 British artists, designers and craftsmen showcase
their work ranging from ceramics, furniture, textiles and fine art to
glassware, greeting cards, jewellery and sculpture.

village the chance to enter home-grown vegetables and flowers, or some
homemade produce like jams and cakes, or knitting, sewing, model making
and painting, making it a delight to attend.
