Fetes and Festivities: Our Summer Library Photo Display

The First Prize winners of the under 5s Fancy Dress “King and Queen” at the 1977 Jubilee Celebrations in Coombes Close, Shipton under Wychwood.

Our latest library exhibition running now until mid-September 2024 has a set of intriguing photos of Wychwoods village fetes held over the years. We also display some images of other key festivities.

These have been selected from our online archive , as well as some images from the 1970s and 1990s recently discovered in the society’s Groves Yard archive.

These latter are simple scans from old transparencies. There are many more to process, and this is one of the many tasks in progress for the archive team.
