Explore Things to do in Banbury

Welcome to our guide to exploring Banbury by interest. Here you’ll find a directory of the town’s changing activities and places, reflecting daily life as it unfolds.

Banbury offers a mix of experiences. From the historic core around the Town Cross and the Town Hall – where markets still operate as they have for centuries – to the more residential character of Claydon, the town presents different facets to discover. A little further afield, you’ll find the quieter spaces of Adderbury, and green areas around the waterways.

Here you’ll find listings covering everything from established institutions like Banbury Museum, to regular events such as the farmers’ market and performances at The Mill Arts Centre. There’s a local energy that extends from the shops and cafes to spaces near Spiceball Country Park.
