Award winning, quirky paint your own pottery cafe filled with plenty of creative activities for adults and children. A good selection of pottery items to choose from before painting it how you like, maybe a hand and footprint of your baby/child, decopatch anything from photo frames to piggy banks. Indulge yourself with delicious home made cake and artisan teas and barista coffees. We have two studio rooms, one on the first floor and the party room on the second floor, so plenty of seating for everyone. So whether you just want to pop in for a coffee, meet friends for tea and cake or bring the family in for some craft activities we have room for you all and you are all welcome at Busy Brush Cafe. We even have free wifi so if you're planning on a 'work from home day' and want to escape home, we have become the 'second home' for a number of Wallingford locals. We look forward to your visit.

We called in for a tea and cake on a wet afternoon. What a delightful place. Lovely pot of real tea and yummy cakes beautifully served with china teapot, cups and plates. A family were painting mugs and clearly enjoying themselves, unfortunately as we were only passing through we didn’t have time to join them. It’s a tiny place on 3 floors and they might do better to make it clear outside that there is plenty of seating, and they don’t do only takeaways.

A cosy shop front turned into a micro bar, serving draught ale and lager, bottled beers, spirits and mainly GIN, 87 different gins and counting. The Keep prides itself on its warm and inviting atmosphere, and we invite you to come and join us for a drink or seven.

Great atmosphere, delightful staff, wonderful environment and fabulous gin! Only thing that would improve it is for it to be able to be bigger, like the tardis! Love this place, always a good time.

A stop at this charming English village will delight fans of mystery novelist Agatha Christie.

A huge range of history here from dinosaurs to factory there is something for everyone. The staff all around the museum are incredibly friendly and seem to really enjoy answering any questions. As well as great exhibits and displays a lot of it is interactive so your kids can get stuck in too.

Wallingford tea rooms were a by chance discovery after an enjoyable browse round the wide variety of antiques in the Lamb arcade last Saturday afternoon. Newly sited in the courtyard at the back it was a lovely space to enjoy and the grilled goats chese and bettrot salad a mouthwatering treat. All served on beautifully laid tables with pleasant and attentive young staff. Thankyou

The Aston Martin Heritage Trust Museum at Drayton St. Leonard, Oxfordshire is an educational charity dedicated to preserving and interpreting the significant historic heritage of Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. through our collections and educational programmes. The medieval barn in which the Museum is housed provides the perfect backdrop to display our extensive collections. Built in 1392 by the monks of Dorchester Abbey, the great tithe barn at Drayton St. Leonard now houses AMHT's Museum and Archives and is the shared Head Office of the Aston Martin Owners Club and the Aston Martin Heritage Trust. Our Barn can be difficult to find. Please refer to our directions on the 'Visit Us' Page on our website, Search for us on Google Maps, or call us for directions once you are in the village. We are always happy to provide further directions.

A great place to spend an hour or so looking at these wonderful cars and the history behind them. Excellent presentation in a lovely old barn. Although fairly small, there's lots to see and to interest anyone interested in the this iconic car.

This is a wonderful local theatre that is truly a treasure of Wallingford and staffed entirely by friendly volunteers who are passionate about the arts and cinema. The building has recently been renovated improving the quality of the projection, sound and structure. The patrons are also notable given they turn their phones off during shows, don't leave garbage strewn across the floor and actually watch the performance rather than talking continuously... the complete opposite to my experiences at the Kassam Vue. There is a single screen and on the nights it is open (check the website) you may find a broadcast of a London stage show or ballet, movies that have only recently left the mainstream cinema and more importantly a wide variety of independent or small release films that usually bypass the mainstream. Notably this is an actual theatre and I have had the pleasure of seeing many outstanding productions and live performances over the past few years. There is also a bar in the foyer which many will appreciate.
