Christmas Traditions in Oddington

In Oddington we have our own tradition – the Christmas Breakfast. It’s wonderful to see so many return year after year from near and far, for traditional fare of porridge with whiskey, followed by the full English. Great fun as always and the capacity of some (who shall remain nameless) to tuck away just one more sausage is quite remarkable. And this year we also tried something new. Not a tradition yet, but it might just become one. Afternoon tea followed by the Christmas Tree lighting. Delicious savouries were served and a range of awesome cakes were devoured. We had a Santas Grotto and the Oddington Choir made their debut.

Outside we were served delicious Mulled Wine and Mince pies, 3 sets of lights all coming on simultaneously and the Choir leading the Carols. Over 100 people there. It felt like the start of a Christmas tradition. Thanks to so many for all the hard work and a special thanks to our friends at the Horse and Groom and the Fox for their kind support.

Morris dancers will be dancing traditional dances from ODDINGTON at the Horse and Groom Upper Oddington at 6pm on August 12th. This is a chance for Oddington villagers to see traditional dances which come from their own village.
