4 days to go until WFOFAD 26 🎭

Church Green hosts an expanded Performance Arena running throughout the day.

Menssana Martial Arts open at 10.30am with a dynamic demonstration including weapon displays — and you can have a go at breaking a board yourself at their stall, with free lessons up for grabs if you succeed.

At 11.30am, Stagecoach Performing Arts Summertown and Witney take to the stage. Now in its fourth decade of nurturing young talent in our community, Stagecoach is a much-loved local institution.

Sol Samba bring the infectious energy of Brazilian samba reggae to Church Green at 12.30pm. A community band since 1999, they are not to be missed.

Oxford Fiddle Group follow at 1.30pm, with fast reels, dancing tunes and beautiful melodies drawn from England, Scotland, Ireland and the United States.

Closing the afternoon at 2.30pm, The Brass Follies are a Faringdon-based brass quartet with a self-arranged, eclectic repertoire ranging from oompah to well-known favourites — warm, upbeat and consistently crowd-pleasing.
