Dear friends and supporters of the Wolvercote Commoners and the Wolvercote Commoners’ Committee. 

The Wolvercote Commoners’ Committee AGM will be held on 29 April at the Wolvercote Village Hall, starting promptly at 7.30pm. A pack containing the agenda and the Minutes of last year’s AGM is attached for your information. 

As ever, we will update you on work across the Commons over the past year and let you know about some new initiatives that have been started. 

As with last year, there will be a short refreshments break, which provides an opportunity to speak to Committee members, either about joining us or just generally. 

We hope to see you there.

2026 Festival Treasure Hunt

Your adventure, “Threads,” is all about discovering the ten numbered locations and their function hidden within the images. The best part? Every location can be reached on foot, using public paths or common land around Wolvercote and Wytham.

To help you get started, download the map here and use it to mark where you think each image belongs. Ready for a fun challenge? Each picture comes with two questions:

  • What is it?
  • Where’s the location?

Some might be a bit tricky, but that’s all part of the fun!

Remember, this treasure hunt is just for enjoyment, but if you’d like an answer sheet once you’re done, just email us at events@wolvercote.org.

A big thank you to Amanda Saville for designing this treasure hunt for the Festival Committee. Now, good luck, and happy exploring!
