SUMMARY:John Robins: Thirst - In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:What is an alcoholic? \nJohn will be heading out on tour to celebrate the publication of his beautifully written\, moving and darkly funny forthcoming memoir\, Thirst. He will tell the story of his life through the lens of alcohol\, the drinks that made him\, and those that broke him. From his earliest drinking experiences – pretending to be drunk after a sip of champagne aged five\, spraying aftershave into his mouth at the school play afterparty\, and university nights spent downing red wine alone in his room – to his last drink in 2022 and the journey into sobriety that followed\, John will explore our relationship with alcohol through reflections on decades of his own drinking. \nFrom hazy memory to sudden clarity he sheds light on subjects from mental health to friendship\, from creativity to the lies we tell ourselves\, and answers questions such as: are alcoholics born or made? How can we make sense of youthful missteps? And can Buddhism provide relief when dealing with haemorrhoids? \nJohn will share insights and epiphanies from the world of addiction and recovery\, blending his trademark raw honesty and hilarious digressions with the collective wisdom of alcoholics and those around them to offer a compelling\, powerful and morbidly funny narrative for anyone who has ever asked ‘why do we drink?’\, ‘why do I drink?’ or ‘do I drink too much?’. \nThis event will include a special guest interviewer at each event\, a rare opportunity for you to put your own questions to John and a chance to purchase a signed copy of Thirst. \nJOHN ROBINS is a radio presenter\, comedian\, Taskmaster champion\, and podcaster (How Do You Cope?\, The Elis James and John Robins Show\, Beef’s Golf Club\, The Moon Under Water). John has won the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for ‘Best Show’ (2017); ‘Funniest Show’ at the ARIAS for his Radio 5 Live show with Elis James (2020); ‘UK Podcast of the Year’ for the mental health podcast How Do You Cope? (2021). \nThroughout his stand-up and radio career he has gained a reputation for speaking candidly and hilariously about his own mental health. In 2024 he won the ‘Radio Times Moment Of The Year’ award at the ARIAS after revealing his struggles with alcohol on How Do You Cope?. His conversation with Adrian Chiles on abstinence vs moderation was one of the most shared articles on The Guardian website and his 2024 nationwide tour\, Howl\, about addiction and recovery received critical acclaim. \nThirst: Twelve Drinks That Changed My Life will be published by Viking on 7th May 2026 \n\nTicket Information \n\nStandard Tickets: £22.50\nPremium ticket including book: £35.50\nSuitable for ages 14+\, with possible strong language and adult themes\nDoors open 18:30\nBook signing will commence at 22:00\nLatecomers to be permitted during the interval at 19:45\nFor ticketing queries\, please contact ticketing@crosstownconcerts.com

SUMMARY:Pets & their People
DESCRIPTION:  11 March – 27 September 2026 \n ST Lee Gallery\, Weston Library \n Free admission\, no ticket required \nAbout the exhibition\nWe have been domesticating animals for over ten thousand years. But why do we want tame wolves in our homes or wild cats on our laps? \nThis exhibition explores the relationship between humans and their pets – or pets and their humans. \nPets & their People draws on depictions of pets in stories\, imagery and poetry in the Bodleian’s collection – from one of the earliest recorded depictions of an assistance dog for the blind to a rare copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that has never been displayed in the UK before. The exhibition asks how the special bond between owners and their pets has evolved over time\, and what that evolution tells us about who we really are. \nAre we taming our pets\, or are they bring us back to our wild roots? \nCurators\nCharles Foster\, Fellow of Exeter College and bestselling author of Being a Beast \nAcknowledgements\nPets & their People is made possible with generous support from the John S Cohen Foundation.

SUMMARY:Brokenness and repair exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Glass Tank\, Oxford Brookes University\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nMonday\, 26 January 2026 to Friday\, 6 February 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the sublime beauty of techniques of visual repair across cultures\, these works invite reflection on brokenness and why it matters. \nIn recent years\, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer\, often embellished with gold or other precious metals\, known as ‘kintsugi’ has fascinated and inspired not only contemporary artists\, but also pscyhologists\, philosophers\, scientists and archaeologists. But the idea of caring for something that is broken and finding beauty in its imperfection resonates much more widely. Whether we are living with the painful yet precious memories of loss\, or trying to reassemble places of belonging from the remnants of abandoned buildings\, brokenness and repair speak to our fundamental ways of being in the world. \nThrough sculpture\, sound\, images\, and pottery\, this exhibition creates a space of dialogue between Japanese aesthetics of brokenness and repair and those of other cultures. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates a long friendship between two artists who have contrasting styles but warmly appreciate each other’s visual language. \nManja Scott was born in Zagreb\, Croatia\, but lived more than a third of her adult life in Africa – Ethiopia\, Zambia\, Kenya. She came to live in the UK in 1982. With the exception of various courses in Combined Arts\, Printed Textiles\, Print Making\, she is self-taught. Her most important influences are twentieth century art\, tribal world cultures\, and the amazing ever-changing beauty of nature. \nJeff Clarke trained through the 1950s at the Brighton College of Art and in Italy with a Prix de Rome scholarship in engraving. Later he etched and painted regularly in Crete alongside the role of draughtsman to the British School of Archaeology until 1996. The regular periods of vibrant sunlight had a profound effect on his work in colour\, tone and line. \nFor this exhibition both artists show a considered selection of retrospective and recent work. Manja with essentially coloured abstracts; Jeff with observed drawings in black and white\, most of still life and close environment. \n\nExhibition Opening\nWednesday 6 May 6-8pm\nPlease join us for drinks to celebrate the opening of this exhibition\nFree event / no booking required \nSpecial Sunday  Opening\nSunday 24 May 12-4pm \n \n\n\n\n\nManja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts\nTicketsFree entry \nExtra information  \nOpening hours: Mon – Sat 10am – 4pm\nClosed: Sun and Bank Holidays except Sunday 24 May

Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Katja Hoyer WEIMAR
DESCRIPTION:From bestselling historian Katja Hoyer comes a gripping story of life during the rise and reign of Hitler and the people of Weimar. \n\n\n\n\nWeimar : Life on the Edge of Catastrophe \nWeimar looms large in German history: a crucible of democracy and dictatorship. This ancient town nestled in the heart of the country was home to some of Europe’s greatest thinkers\, Goethe and Schiller\, Liszt and Nietzsche among them. It gave its name to the ambitious Weimar Republic crafted in the aftermath of the First World War. But it was also where fascism took hold. Where Bauhaus architects first experimented with new ways of living\, Buchenwald was dug out of a beech forest. \nWeimar shows us a town and its people on the edge of catastrophe. Drawing on a wealth of new archival research\, acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer takes us from 1919 to 1939 as she tells the stories of the men and women who lived through the new republic and Hitler’s regime. We encounter a vividly drawn cast of characters\, from bookbinder Carl Weirich and hotel owners Rosa and Arthur Schmidt\, to Friedrich Nietzsche’s sister Elisabeth. Here are fascists and socialists\, artists and workers\, politicians and citizens\, who\, as the events of history swept them up\, became witnesses\, perpetrators\, victims and bystanders. \nAn unforgettable picture of lives and choices in extraordinary circumstances\, Weimar takes us deep into the heart of the storm – to the town that dreamt of a better world\, and woke up to tyranny. \nKatja Hoyer \nKatja Hoyer is a German-British historian and journalist. She is a Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College London and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Her debut book Blood and Iron was well received by academics and critics. Her second book Beyond the Wall was a Sunday Times bestseller and long-listed for the prestigious Baillie Gifford Prize. \nKatja is currently a columnist for the Berliner Zeitung. She is a regular contributor to Bloomberg\, The Spectator\, The Daily Telegraph and UnHerd and has also worked as a columnist for The Washington Post. She occasionally writes for a range of other newspapers such as The Financial Times\, The Times\, The Guardian and Die Welt on current political affairs in Germany and Europe as well as history and books.

SUMMARY:The Easy Rollers
DESCRIPTION:Delighting audiences with their enormous repertoire of own songwriting and arrangements\, The Easy Rollers are a septet who embody the famed spirit and consummate virtuosity of today’s booming British jazz scene and bring it straight back to the music’s roots: 1920s and ’30s Harlem\, Kansas City and New Orleans. \nReleased in 2025\, their critically acclaimed album ‘… And Another Thing’ – spun on BBC Radio 3 and praised internationally for its “craft\, strong ensemble work\, and a clear passion” (Jazz In Europe)  – was launched in London at a sold-out PizzaExpress Live. In 2026\, The Easy Rollers celebrate their 10th anniversary\, embarking on their most high-profile UK tour yet. \nFronted by the captivating Dani Sicari\, whose time-machine of a voice is evocative of early greats like Helen Kane and Ruth Etting\, The Easy Rollers have long established a reputation for delivering performances that channel the in-the-moment dynamism of the Jazz Age at the height of its cultural grandeur. Arising from their love of the tradition\, they take pride in marrying a conscientious approach to authenticity with their mission of ensuring this effervescent era of jazz is never presented merely as a nostalgic museum piece. \n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n“They not only keep the spirit of the Jazz Age alive but also enrich it with a contemporary freshness […] familiar and innovative at the same time” \nJazzism\n\n“They’re great fun and they’ll swing you into bad health” \nStephen Duffy\, BBC Radio Scotland\n\n\nThe Easy Rollers\n6 May 2026 – 7:30 pm\nTickets£20 \nLinksThe Easy Rollers

SUMMARY:Pets & their People
DESCRIPTION:  11 March – 27 September 2026 \n ST Lee Gallery\, Weston Library \n Free admission\, no ticket required \nAbout the exhibition\nWe have been domesticating animals for over ten thousand years. But why do we want tame wolves in our homes or wild cats on our laps? \nThis exhibition explores the relationship between humans and their pets – or pets and their humans. \nPets & their People draws on depictions of pets in stories\, imagery and poetry in the Bodleian’s collection – from one of the earliest recorded depictions of an assistance dog for the blind to a rare copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that has never been displayed in the UK before. The exhibition asks how the special bond between owners and their pets has evolved over time\, and what that evolution tells us about who we really are. \nAre we taming our pets\, or are they bring us back to our wild roots? \nCurators\nCharles Foster\, Fellow of Exeter College and bestselling author of Being a Beast \nAcknowledgements\nPets & their People is made possible with generous support from the John S Cohen Foundation.

SUMMARY:Brokenness and repair exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Glass Tank\, Oxford Brookes University\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nMonday\, 26 January 2026 to Friday\, 6 February 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the sublime beauty of techniques of visual repair across cultures\, these works invite reflection on brokenness and why it matters. \nIn recent years\, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer\, often embellished with gold or other precious metals\, known as ‘kintsugi’ has fascinated and inspired not only contemporary artists\, but also pscyhologists\, philosophers\, scientists and archaeologists. But the idea of caring for something that is broken and finding beauty in its imperfection resonates much more widely. Whether we are living with the painful yet precious memories of loss\, or trying to reassemble places of belonging from the remnants of abandoned buildings\, brokenness and repair speak to our fundamental ways of being in the world. \nThrough sculpture\, sound\, images\, and pottery\, this exhibition creates a space of dialogue between Japanese aesthetics of brokenness and repair and those of other cultures. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

Book below \n\nWith Anna Steven\, Gallery Guide and lecturer at the Ashmolean Museum \nJoin Anna for this special opportunity to view original prints and drawings by the English architect\, painter and designer William Kent (1684-1748) and his contemporaries. \nKent’s time in Italy was crucial for his development as an artist\, and the landscape gardens he designed at Rousham are filled with multi-layered references to the Grand Tour. He believed that landscape should be viewed as a painting\, by leaping the fence and seeing all nature as a garden. \nDuring this visit to the Western Art Print Room we will reveal the layers\, through rarely seen images\, that reflect the design process of William Kent\, who is known as a pioneer of the New English style of landscape\, or the informal English garden. \n\n\n\n\n\n \nPortrait of William Kent\, John William Cook after William Aikman\, 1827\, stipple on wove paper\, WAHP44493.1 \n\n\n\n\n\n \nA ruin caprice with Roman antiquities\, Marco Ricci\, 1710-1725\, bodycolour on laid paper\, WA1951.131 \n\n\n\n\n\n \nElevation of a country house\, probably Devonshire House\, William Kent\, 1726\, pen and ink with grey wash over indications in graphite\, WA1943.128 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBOOKING\nTickets are £25 each\, or £55 each when combined with the afternoon Coach trip to Rousham House & Gardens \nTickets are only available to Members of the Ashmolean \nBags and coats can be stored within the Western Art Print Room during this visit
