Woodstock Town Hall Has A Stairlift!
Thanks to a generous donation from a film company wanting to use our historic town as a film set, we are now able to offer those less able residents and visitors access to our magnificent first floor Assembly Rooms via a brand new stairlift. 
If you've been put off from visiting our Assembly Rooms please call at the town hall and test drive the stairlift!

Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum
Woodstock Town Council supports the development of a new home for the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum.
However, it has consistenly opposed the plans for the building in which the museum is to be housed, and in this matter it supports the current campaign by local residents who are attempting to get a large ditch change of heart from the County Council.  Town Mayor, Cllr Brian Yoxall appealed to the County Council at its meeting in County Hall on Tuesday 19th February.  You can read his statement here

The Oxfordshire Museum
In common with many public services, the ever-popular Woodstock Museum is facing very severe financial cuts. The Friends of the Oxfordshire Museum is looking for volunteers to help run many of the ancillary services. If you are interested and willing to commit to just a couple of hours a week (or maybe more), please contact The Friends of Oxfordshire Museum or the Director at Fletcher's House Park Street, Woodstock OX20 1SN tel. 01993 811 456
