We run a number of regular social gatherings, open to everyone in the village — not just churchgoers. All take place in the Parish Rooms, behind Bloxham Museum, unless stated.
Tea and Toast
Every Friday, 9 am–11 am. Unlimited drinks and toast in a warm and friendly atmosphere — all ages and children welcome, £1 per person or family.
Thursday Club
A friendly, welcoming lunch club for local, older people. Thursdays, 10.30 am–3 pm. Meeting in St Mary’s Parish Rooms (behind Bloxham Museum). For further information, contact Co-ordinator Lynn Johnson
Soup Saturday
First Saturday of the month, September to May, 12 pm–2 pm. Homemade soup and desserts, with unlimited tea or coffee.
Parish Breakfast
Second Sunday of the month, after the 9.30 am Holy Communion. A sausage in a roll plus a croissant, with donations welcome — see the weekly service sheet for the exact date each month.
Renew Wellbeing in Bloxham
St Mary’s Church partners with Bloxham Baptist Church to deliver Renew Bloxham, part of the national Renew Wellbeing network — a wellbeing space for anyone experiencing loneliness, anxiety or emotional distress. Renew Wellbeing’s starting point is simple: it’s ok not to be ok.
Renew Bloxham meets on Tuesdays, 1.30 pm–4 pm, at Bloxham Baptist Chapel, Hawke Lane. There’s a quiet space for prayer and reflection, tea and coffee, board games, hobbies, crafts and jigsaws, and informal companionship — a pressure-free space, not a place to solve problems, though signposting to further support is available if needed.
