20th and 21st February 2026

The Blewbury Players are supporting a ‘radio play’ performance of the Dice House in the village hall. The Dice House, by Paul Lucas, is an irreverent black comedy inspired by Luke Rhinehart’s cult book The Dice Man which explores the nature and limitations of free will. What happens if we make all decisions based on the whim of a dice? The performances in February will be rehearsed readings so the cast will be reading from scripts by their microphones in the style of a radio play. Whilst this won’t be a full production, there will be an opportunity to get involved in other aspects of theatre; sound, lights, production, stage management, front of house, costume if people want to. If you want to be involved in any way please contact Matt Phillips or Andy Jarvis at matt.warren.phillips@gmail.com.

Walk from Blewbury to the Bell Inn at Aldworth (and back!) – meeting at 10.30 am at The Pound (the green space near the Blueberry).

26th December

This is an informal walk around the village. You can come along in fancy dress and perform a skit or come as you are to watch and/or join the walk (i.e. ‘here for the beer’)! Entries are in the usual categories: Individual, Small group (2–5 people), Medium group (6–10 people), Large group (11+ people). 1st, 2nd & 3rd prizes are available for the best fancy dress/skit in each category, as well as the coveted Ron Freeborn Memorial Cup and John Grice Memorial Cup.

Entry fees: Adults £7; Children £2 – includes refreshments along the route. Suggested donation of £7 if you are ‘here for the beer’. This is a slight uplift (for adults only) on previous years owing to the increased cost of the drinks provided, but kept as low as possible to try not to make a loss.

Registration 10:00 am at the Village Hall; skits at 10:30 am; walk starts at 11:00 am

24th December, 5:45 pm in the Church

You are welcome to come dressed up as a character from the Nativity or you could come as just as you are! The service will finish in time to meet Father Christmas at the Play Close at 6.30pm.
