All ages and abilities are welcome.

At Rewley Road Swing Bridge this month, the main task will be getting the space ready for Oxford Open Doors as it will be opened up for visitors over the weekend of 14th & 15th September.

We welcome anyone with railway engineering experience or interest to help us (we are being advised by experts and enthusiasts who assisted with the restoration) but as with all our work parties you will receive instruction and do not require any particular skills. If you would like to get involved in helping us take care of this space please get in touch.
