Wolvercote 2026

Bellows and Buttons are delighted to announce another social weekend of DG melodeon tuition and music, based in Wolvercote in North Oxford on 13th to 15th November 2026.

We are welcoming all levels from Absolute Beginners to Accomplished Players.

We have five Tutors booked for the event. Mel Biggs and Matt Quinn will be teaching Improvers, Intermediate, and Accomplished levels in rotation and Vicky Cooper will be teaching Beginners and Absolute Beginners will be taught by Helena Painting.

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.

Refreshments will be available during coffee and tea breaks during the workshops.

Acorn Instruments, will have a display of new and used instruments at the weekend.
