The Didcot venue will showcase exhibitions, installations, and events throughout the building from Friday, May 1 to Saturday, May 30.

Featuring works in painting, sculpture, film, photography, ceramics, textiles, and mixed media, the programme explores themes of home, identity, and connection.

The gallery exhibition includes work by Amanda Benstead, Catherine Rye, Sue Chamberlin, and Lin Dewsnap.

Georgina Heritage, cabinet member for communities at South Oxfordshire District Council, said: “Cornerstone is a fabulous and welcoming community hub – you can see a show, take a class or just catch up over a coffee.

“The Artsweek Takeover is a great opportunity to discover Cornerstone, see something new, and connect with the stories behind the work.”

The auditorium will host SCRAPS, a queer art collective presenting its debut exhibition for one week.

Cornerstone has worked with Oxfordshire Artweeks for more than 15 years, but this is the first time it has hosted multiple exhibitions on this scale.

Esther Lafferty, festival director for Oxfordshire Artweeks, said: “We’re delighted to see such a wonderful collection of artists coming together at Cornerstone for Artweeks.

“We hope the skill and talent on display will remind visitors about the incredible creativity that is often hidden behind closed doors and that all they need is a little curiosity.”

Admission is free during Cornerstone’s opening hours, and further details are available on the venue’s website.

West Oxfordshire District Council is urging residents to ensure they have valid ID for the local election on Thursday, May 7.

Accepted forms of ID include UK, EEA, or Commonwealth passports and photo driver’s licences, as well as some concessionary travel passes such as older person’s bus passes.

Giles Hughes, returning officer for West Oxfordshire District Council, said: “Anyone voting at a polling station this May will need to show photo ID before they can be given their ballot paper.

“It’s important that everyone understands what types of ID they can use, and how to apply for free ID if they need it.”

Photographic ID can be expired, provided the image remains a true likeness of the voter, and the name on the ID must match the name on the electoral register.

Name change documents can be used alongside the photo ID if needed.

Only original documents will be accepted – photocopies or digital images will not be valid.

Residents who do not have an accepted photo ID had to apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate. The deadline to apply was 5pm on Tuesday, April 28.

Mr Hughes also urged residents to look out for those who may need support.

He added: “I would also ask people to check in with elderly neighbours, friends and family to make sure they understand the ID requirements and have ID in place.”

Marking the centenary of Bicester Motion, 100: A Technical Site’s Centenary will feature 100 carefully curated photographs gathered over 12 years.

Launching at the Scramble event on Sunday, April 26, the book will chronicle the site’s journey from its transient beginnings in the First World War, through its formal establishment in 1926, to its current role as a centre for automotive technology.

Bicester Motion took ownership of the 444-acre site in 2013, restoring and preserving much of the former bomber base, a significant portion of which carries Grade II listed status.

Before this, the site saw varied use, including as a Gulf War satellite US military hospital, and had remained unoccupied for 20 years.

Readers keen to take home a copy of this historical reflection can do so for £12 at the Scramble event, and a select number of hardback editions will be available.

The book will subsequently be available for purchase online.

Bicester Motion, a future-oriented mobility site, creates an environment for automotive and aviation technology businesses.

It champions a sustainable mobility future, providing an innovative hub for industry leaders, manufacturers, and innovators.

Around 99 per cent of the site’s buildings were meticulously restored or repurposed for modern business use, earning Bicester Motion recognition from Historic England as a prime example of constructive conservation.
