The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Nice crowd for this early at the Banbury Music Mix. Just getting started - plenty of time to come down and enjoy the music. 000
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Spent yesterday at the Avon Dassett Soapbox Derby with @modparlphotos.bsky.social who was doing the event photography. His feed will no doubt feature some of those pics so check them out. I did some snapping too but much less polished 😁 #avondassetsoapboxderby 010
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Yup, Banbury Show is underway... Banbury Town Council has a lovely day out set up and... ENTRY IS FREE. 010
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Enjoying Mayhem Flyball Club day out at The National Herb Centre - not as much as the dogs are enjoying it but then, they are MAD WITH JOY. #dogsofbanbury out and about 010

The Chicken Teriyaki Poke Bowl tasted every bit as good as it looked. A welcome new addition to Banbury's food scene! #banbury #goodfood #pokebowl #asianfood #eatlocal #Banburyfoodies 121

The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 12/05/2025So, what bit of #Banbury for #photographymonth today? We head to the town centre and back in time to the Rallye Monte Carlo Historique 2020. 020
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 11/05/202511 days into #PhotographyMonth and we continue with another bit of #Banbury. Today it's books! Specifically, books via Banbury's Phone-box Library on South Bar, outside St John’s Church. 010
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Happy #WindmillDay to one our favourite 'long walk in the fresh air' destinations, the #Bodicote Windmill. One of the loveliest walks in the area. And when you consider the abundance of lovely walks we have on the doorstep, that's saying something. Another bit of #Banbury for #photographymonth 040
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 06/05/2025It's bikes for today's bit of #Banbury for #photographymonth - and while I enjoy a good bike ride as much as anyone else, there is no way I could manage the amazing jumps, spins and flips that some of the riders at the Spiceball Park ramps perform. Always impressive. 130

The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 04/05/2025Today's bit of #Banbury for #photographymonth is a two for one of sorts. 'The Dancers' statue is iconic Banbury on its own but in context alongside The Mill Arts Centre is double the banbury-ish-ness. 010
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 03/05/2025Today's bit of #Banbury for #PhotographyMonth is the iconic, historic, local business & landmark - Tooley's Boatyard. When I say iconic & historic, I mean it's "one of the oldest working dry docks on the Inland Waterways in continuous use since 1778." 011
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 01/05/2025As May is Photography Month, I've looked thru photos I've taken of #Banbury over time to share some of my favourites over the course of the month I start with the elevated path in Banbury Country Park. Why not share YOUR favourite pictures of Banbury and let's give #PhotographyMonth a local spin! 010
Reposted by The BanburianNeil @modparlphotos.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Everyone knows the nursery rhyme, "Ride a Cock Horse, to Banbury Cross, to see a Fine Lady upon a white horse", but there's massess of history to the little piece of doggerel. @thebanburian.bsky.social breaks down some of the history here: thebanburian.com/whos-riding-...thebanburian.comWho’s Riding to Which Cross? - The BanburianMost people agree “Banbury Cross” refers to the High Cross as it was the most centrally located but no one is sure - and there are lots of questions. 021
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 30/04/2025The 20th anniversary of our Fine Lady statue feels like a good for this from the blog archives.

The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 30/04/2025It's all happening down here at the Fine Lady statue - the great and the good have gathered, Morris dancers are warmed up. 20 years! And doesn't she look fab! 000
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Bit of a theme here at Caffeine & Machine today.... 010
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Had the day off yesterday we took ourselves off for a bimble around Oxford. The Radcliffe Camera was looking positively resplendent in the late morning light. One of the great delights of living in Banbury is how many fantastic days out are practically on the doorstep. 010
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 13/04/2025Taste of Spring is underway, #Banbury! Come on down and try some of this fab food! 000

The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Out and about today as we head to lunch.... churchyard and market giving very distinct vibes. 000
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Next Sunday (March 30th) is Take A Walk In the Park Day. One thing I enjoy most about Banbury is the number of parks around town. Banbury Country Park is probably my fave. I love how it links to other green spaces like the Grimsbury nature reserve & canal walks. What's your favourite local park? 000
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Our and about in town today - and taking my own advice about trying something new, I've taken a monochromatic approach to things (with a small dash of retro colour - because why not). 031

The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 18/01/2025As Cherwell District Council hasn't made their way over here yet (kudos to councils that have, BTW. Always good to be slightly ahead of things), I thought it worth sharing this in case anyone wanted to go. #Banbury 000
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Just happened to see this today in case one is feeling creative towards the end of the month. #Banbury 000
The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Lock29 doing its job - giving folks a chance to test the market, gain customer response insights and grow their business.

The Banburian @thebanburian.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I mean, do they consider just selling fishing licenses for the car park at this point?
