Residents of west Oxfordshire will be able to meet local artists and authors at an open evening on Thursday, December 5, at the Woodstock Visitor Information Centre.

The centre, based in The Oxfordshire Museum, is hosting the event, from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, to promote Woodstock and the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.

Work by authors Rachael Sherlaw-Johnson and Dorothy Calcutt and artists Andrea Bates and Valerie Moon will be on show.

Items and produce from the Halcyon Honey Farm, in Charlbury, and the Aston Pottery, near Bampton, will be on display.

There will also be an opportunity to view the Oxfordshire Craft Guild's Christmas exhibition.

West Oxfordshire District Council's cabinet member for cultural services, Tony Walker, said: "I think this will be a magnificent opportunity to learn about the work carried out by local artists and authors and meet them in person.

"It should be an extremely interesting evening."
