Discover Didcot

The Didcot Nature Trail includes Mowbray Fields Nature Reserve. The Cornerstone Arts Centre combines exhibitions with live performances and participatory activities; All Saints Church has a Norman-style font and a carved figure of an abbot. Didcot Wave adds a swimming pool with a wave machine and water slide to this selection. If you’re looking for a hotel in Didcot, considering interests like these can help you shape your stay around your own plans.

Mowbray Fields and the Didcot Nature Trail

Mowbray Fields is a local nature reserve with a short stretch of stream, a wildflower meadow, part of a railway embankment and a balancing pond. The site is also home to common spotted orchids and marsh orchids. This nature offering therefore encompasses both varied landscape features and specific plant species. The Didcot Nature Trail includes Mowbray Fields, so the reserve and trail can be considered together as a nature-focused interest during your stay.

Art and events at Cornerstone

The Cornerstone Arts Centre offers a range of ways to experience art and culture. The centre provides exhibition space for established and emerging artists and presents live performances, participatory activities, exhibitions and outreach programmes. If you’re choosing between an exhibition and an event, you’ll find both on the programme here. Facilities include a 234-seat auditorium, a café bar, a gallery and four flexible-use rooms. The auditorium provides a dedicated setting for performances, while the gallery and flexible-use rooms offer other aspects of the venue. Participatory activities encourage visitors to take part as well as watch.

Church details at All Saints Church

All Saints Church in Didcot offers a different cultural focus. It has a Norman-style font and houses a carved recumbent effigy of an abbot, shown fully dressed in liturgical vestments and wearing a mitre. The two details offer different points of interest: the font is notable for its style, while the figure draws attention to the person depicted and his clothing. This church-related focus differs from the exhibitions and stage events at the Cornerstone Arts Centre.

Swimming at Didcot Wave

Didcot Wave Leisure Centre offers a sporting and recreational option. It has a 25-metre swimming pool with a wave machine and water slide. The facilities include family swim sessions and lane swimming. When making plans, you can take both the pool facilities and the type of swimming you want into account: family swim sessions and lane swimming are different options. The centre’s operation and availability may change; swimming formats and times may also vary. Check the latest information about opening and swimming times before your visit.
