Wolvercote is a village that is part of the City of Oxford, England. It is about 3 miles northwest of the city centre, on the northern edge of Wolvercote Common, which is itself north of Port Meadow and adjoins the River Thames. It is well served by the Oxford Bus Services, and near to all of the major road networks.
The Bellows and Buttons weekend centres around the Wolvercote Primary School, which will be the location of the workshops, St Peters Church, directly over the road from the school, who will be hosting the Saturday evening Tutors concert, and The Plough, a short walk from the school, which will be our Friday evening meeting place and session venue. Lunches will also be at The Plough.

There are few food outlets in the very local vicinity of the school. Therefore, we have made arrangements with the local pub and restaurant, The Plough, to provide options for food for us on both Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes. These would be pre-ordered from the menus below. Please indicate your choices on the booking form, and any dietary requirements will be discussed with the chefs. Those who choose to bring their own food can stay at the school during lunchtime.
