Jericho Fest - This Weekend

The festival takes place on the weekend closest to St Barnabas Day (11 June), and begins on Saturday 6 June at 12 noon with the ever‑brilliant Oxford Morris Dancers outside the community centre.

You can expect:

• Dozens of delightful stalls lining Canal Street
• Trombonist George Taylor and his jazz band outside the Community Centre
• A full afternoon of music, food, and fun - of course with a big and beautiful bouncy castle
• The Street Fair Raffle
• And the celebrations continue into the evening with more live music and delicious food at the Bookbinders.

Then on Sunday 7 June, Jericho wakes up to the spectacular Run Jericho, followed by a joyful finale in the afternoon with the Festival Mass and drinks at St Barnabas. Find more information here.

Raffle (£1 ) prizes include a weekend College Cruiser, gift cards to The Perch, Mamma Mia Pizzeria, The Harcourt, Bookbinders, The Picture House, Zheng, Al Shami, The Jericho Press, Brasserie Blanc, Cafe Manos, The Jericho Beauty Salon, Inkora, Walton Street Cycles, Artwork, Community Centre Cafe & more!

'Meet Your Neighbours' - Wednesday 10th June from 5.30pm

WMRA committee members will be hosting a Meet Your Neighbours get together next week. Please do come and join us at The Gardeners Arms, Plantation Road from 5.30pm.

Information On Local Roadworks

With so many of our roads currently affected by road/utility company works and building projects, the committee has been trying to identify a reliable source of information about upcoming disruption. We are also in discussions with the Council about how these are all coordinated to minimise overlap. We will keep you posted on progress but for anyone seeking information, this site is a platform that Highway Authorities, Utilities, and Contractors use to communicate roadwork plans and may be of use to local residents trying to find information. We have added a link to this site to the WMRA Website (main page, left hand column) so you can check it at any time.

We hope to see you next Wednesday evening at the Gardeners Arms!
