Rainy Day Picks This Weekend
11–12 July Near Fringford
Not every listing gets a golden ticket
We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.
Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Fringford, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

2Hear Together: Sound & Stillness
Join Chay for a 90-minute immersive sound experience designed to help you slow down, switch off and reconnect. Blending traditional sound therapy instruments with ambient music and atmospheric soundscapes, Hear Together Now offers a unique listening experience that sits somewhere between a sound bath, a live performance and a guided meditation. The session begins with a gentle introduction and guided relaxation, allowing you to settle comfortably into the space. From there, you'll be taken on an extended sonic journey, where layers of ambient music, drone flute, singing bowls, drums, chimes and other instruments weave together to create a rich and restorative listening experience. As the sound unfolds, you'll be invited to simply rest, breathe and listen. The carefully crafted journey is designed to encourage deep relaxation, helping to calm the nervous system, slow the breath and create space away from the demands of everyday life. Whether you're looking to relax, recharge or simply enjoy a moment of stillness, this is an opportunity to pause and be fully present.
