Busy Brush Cafe

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.

Pure Boating

Self drive electric boat hire from two sites on the river Thames at Wallingford and Moulsford, Oxfordshire. We have a fleet of modern but characterful boats seating 2 to 11 people, as well as a skippered luxury launch. The river here is very beautiful and tranquil and you can cruise five miles downstream amongst the wildlife before reaching a lock. Experienced and friendly staff complete the picture. Bring family and/or friends, a picnic and drift away on the river.

Wallingford Museum

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

Reviewed By ollie_itfc4 - Shillingford, United Kingdom

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.

Cholsey-Wallingford Railway

Reviewed By TerryMc57 - Bedford, United Kingdom

Stumbled upon this wonderful place on a recent visit to Wallingford, it was such a nice gentle journey along the line being pulled by diesel train, a small bar on board selling drinks and some wonderful scenery including the church where Agatha Christie is buried. A must see for those visiting Wallingford and interested in vintage railway
