Makespace Oxford hosted an engaging event at The Old Stables in Wantage on Saturday, June 28.
The free gathering treated attendees to a community meal created from surplus food, alongside live music, storytelling, insightful speakers, and interactive art workshops. A makers market was also featured, highlighting the talents of local creatives, and a special interview in the style of Desert Island Discs with Reverend Tim Hewes, a beloved local vicar and activist, was a distinctive highlight.

The Old Stables, launched three years ago by Makespace Oxford, exemplifies the organization’s mission to repurpose underutilized spaces into lively community centers. This venue offers affordable studios, offices, and workspaces to enable local enterprises to flourish, with a particular emphasis on organizations focused on social good.
To date, Makespace Oxford has revitalized over 30 buildings across Oxfordshire, supporting more than 255 organizations and contributing to the creation of over 300 jobs across the county.
