Oxfordshire Gang Show

20/12/2025

Who is joining us for our final Festive fling of 2025? Singing all those festive favourites at Bicester Tesco (the big one) from 9am to 4pm today.

All welcome 😁 more the merrier! And the more pennies we can collect for our fundraising efforts

Come along and have a giggle. It's the best kind of festive feelgood!

The things we do for Gang Show ...

We are 3/4 through our festive fundraising campaign - just three Santa Sleigh runs in Abingdon and a whole day of singing in Bicester to go.

Why not come and join our festive choir on Saturday at Bicester Tescos (the big one)? We will be there for seven hours and we sing festive favourites (funny, nostalgic, emotional, uplifting).

We would love to welcome you. All ages, all abilities. We want your company, your voices and your participation. The more we enjoy it, the more money we collect in our buckets. And this makes the difference between us achieving our targets and not. We need to hit those numbers so we can take to that stage in just two months' time.

We performed for seven hours on Saturday (amazing Kirsten still had a voice!). Our thanks to Sainsburys Heyford Hill and Tesco Abingdon for giving us the opportunity to bring festive cheer to their customers and staff.

In fact, we were thanked by so many people for making them feel uplifted. Spreading joy is a wonderful gift and our cast, crew and supporters have great fun doing it.

Come and join us for our final stint of 2025. Saturday, 20 Dec 25 at Bicester Tesco. 0900 to 1600hrs. You can do an hour or you can stay for longer. Just come and be part of it and help us with our quest.

And for a little giggle, look what happened on Saturday. Last year we had the turkey leg wiggle and this year .....

Our gorgeous Mini Gang paid a visit to the "big room and the big guys" on Sunday! They joined our Junior and Senior Gang members for a joint rehearsal of this year's Megamix.

We like to introduce them once they have had a few weeks to get into the swing of Mini Gang rehearsals. It helps them to feel part of the team and also reduces the fear factor of suddenly meeting them at the Theatre (when the entire environment is unfamiliar and can be quite challenging).

They did so well that we have decided to return to the "big room" again this Sunday, only this time, the Minis will perform one of the songs from their item for the rest of the cast and crew to see.

They are excited, though a little nervous, but we know that the rest of the Gang will give them so much encouragement and support, as they always do.

Our Mini Gang is now an established section of our Show and we can already see the benefits and progress being made because of it. The reaction they get from cast and the audience boosts their confidence and shows just how magical Gang Show spirit really is.

Just wait til you see them perform on that stage in February!
You've got your tickets booked, right?!?

Our festive singers were out in force again at the weekend, with another two locations enjoying our Christmas corkers.

We braved the rain at Kidlington Market on Saturday morning and then took up residence in the beautiful Christmas Emporium within Avenue Garden Centre in the afternoon.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and those who made donations.

We are appearing again this coming Saturday for our third outing.
AM: Sainsbury's, Heyford Hill
PM: Tesco's, Abingdon

We love to welcome people into the choir. You don't need to be an active member of Scouts or Girlguiding, you don't need to be a trained chorister. You just need to join us, have some fun and help us raise some money whilst we belt out our festive favourites.

How lovely it was to be thanked for bringing festive cheer.
Let's do it all again this weekend.

Will you join us?

Wow! What a weekend we just had!

Thank you to everyone who supported us as we launched our Festive Fundraising campaign. Singing at four separate locations, our annual Race Night & Festive Fayre and a full rehearsal schedule yesterday.

One shopper Waitrose & Partners thanked us for bringing festive cheer to the public, customers at Sainsbury's and staff at Hotel Golf & Spa thanked us for closing out their Christmas Market event with our tunes around their tree.

Our Race Night was as hilarious as ever - plenty of friendly competition, giggles and gasps of frustration and joy. What a lovely way to spend a weekend. With our wonderful supporters, working together to raise essential funds and making new friends along the way.

Here's a challenge for everyone. What is your guess? Comment below.
How many times will Kirsten sing "Dominic the Donkey" before we break for Christmas? (Clue: she's 5 down already!)

We would love to welcome you all to the choir over the next three weekends. Let us know if you can come along:

Sat 6 Dec: Kidlington Market (am); Bicester Avenue Garden Ctr (pm)
Sat 13 Dec: Heyford Hill Sainsburys (am); Abingdon Tescos (pm)
Sat 20 Dec: Tesco Bicester (0900 - 1500hrs)

No carols, just lots of festive favourites and a lot of fund and friendship. No solos, we sing together and our supporters are always welcome to join us.

Singing and Sleighing!

Do you fancy joining us as we giggle our way to Christmas?
We need extras (showbiz term there!) to join our group for these essential fundraising activities. You'll be with lovely people, bringing joy to the communities and helping us to bring in the funds which will help get us onto that stage.

Santa Sleighing
With Abingdon Lions, bringing Santa magic right to the doorstep of the residents of Abingdon. Just two hours of your time, hundreds of smiles and such a feelgood thing to do. We need more people to take up the available slots. Please use this link to volunteer: https://forms.gle/Fx9CMX1UqQiuJ23y8

Festive Singing
At various venues on every Saturday from 29 Nov to 20 Dec. Spend an hour (or more) singing festive favourites, generating smiles, joy and awareness of our amazing Show. We need voices to add to our choir. You don't have to be in the Show. You don't need experience and we'll supply the words and the backing tracks. We are happy to welcome singers of all ages - the more the merrier! Please use this link to volunteer: https://forms.gle/o5qXQHSxkzuh6z7JA

Please join the team as we spread festive cheer around the county. Use the links above or the QR codes in the image

And the winner is.....

Five Go Quizzing!
(there were only four of them in the end but that didn't stop them!)

Congratulations to our winning team and now holders of our glorious trophy (which we are keeping safe for them).

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported. We all had a great time and everyone is keen for us to do it all again.

So, we will add it to our annual event schedule although we may do it sooner.

Could you be a Gang Show Quizmaster???

Mini Gang Assemble(d)!
Well, some of them did - there are more joining us this coming Sunday.

Yesterday we focused on getting to know each other, some calming techniques when the excitement or nerves get a bit much and on having some fun together. This picture was taken midway through an hilarious game - can you guess what they are? (Clue: it will be something that lives under the sea! But that is only a clue to the game, not a clue to this year's Mini Gang item)

And after we had spent time with these little superstars, we held an afternoon of acting and singing auditions with members of the Senior and Junior gangs, and we were so SO impressed!

Rehearsals start on Sunday and we are still accepting late registrations - even yesterday we picked up three new cast members!

So, if you've been thinking about it but thought you were too late - you're not! But get in touch asap so we can get all the information out to you and then we can welcome you in.

We are all really excited to get going again, though we can't quite believe how quickly the months have passed since our final Finale of the 2025 Show in February. Our Sundays will now be spent together again and by the huge smiles we saw yesterday, that's a really good thing.

Do you fancy joining in? You're not too late but you'll have to be quick!!!

To all our cast members who are about to receive A Level and GCSE results, we hope you get the outcome you have worked so hard for.

Remember, whatever happens, we think you are superstars and you will figure out a route through. You have already proven you can deal with change and challenge - every time you join us for another five months of Gang Show magic and madness!

We are wishing you all the very best.
