The perfect weather today to come and visit Banbury, take in the sights and sounds of the old town’s many independent businesses, visit the museum and its Tolkien exhibition, stroll along the canal past Tooley’s boatyard, or visit People’s Park or Spiceball Park.
It’s also the last day at The Sundae Girls in Parsons Street, so be sure to pop in to wish them well.
