Join us to celebrate another year of community, connection, learning and recovery at the Oxfordshire Recovery College.

Find out what courses are offered and meet tutors and students showcasing our partners and their services and share some food.

Talks will start at 5pm.

Our sister organisation, Bridewell Organic Gardens, is  holding a community afternoon, welcoming the public to their  walled garden and vineyard.

Take the opportunity to see this beautiful place and to buy their produce; eggs, fruit, vegetables, jams, jellies and chutneys. Lots of plants are for sale, lovingly nurtured in our greenhouses. You can also join a free guided tour of the gardens, given by Ian Gourlay who has been a team member at Bridewell for many years so can give a wonderful history of the project and how we work.

And it seems that no one can resist our famous teas; tables are set up in the garden for you to enjoy homemade sponges, chocolate cakes, fruit slices and of course scones with cream and Bridewell jam.

It will be an idyllic afternoon in beautiful surroundings. Don’t miss it!

The likes of Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, and Rowan Atkinson, have forged comedy careers in Oxford. In their wake a comedy group is going from strength to strength.

The Oxford Imps made their debut at the Wheatsheaf pub in 2004 and they will be performing a special show for Restore at 7.30pm at The Jericho Tavern on Tuesday 30 October.

Every penny raised will go directly towards Restore. Advance tickets and student tickets are £4. All other tickets on the day will be £5. You can buy tickets here

SINGER, songwriter, composer, poet, multi-instrumentalist, and Restore patron Emily Maguire is coming to Manzil Way as part of an extensive UK tour, and tickets are available!
Emily’s heartfelt, thought-provoking lyrics, emotive voice, many albums, and spellbinding live performances have won her fans across the globe, none more so than here in Oxfordshire.
With a remarkable story of recovery to tell, Emily has been interviewed many times on Radio 2 and Radio 4 including ‘Midweek’ with Libby Purves. A breakdown at 16, diagnosed as acute clinical depression combined with a car crash that same year brought on a condition known as FMS (fibromyalgia pain syndrome), causing constant pain.

“I started writing songs and the illness suddenly became a complete blessing in disguise as I had all this time on my hands to write”, Emily says.
Emily can’t wait to be touring again and she’s looking forward to promoting her new poetry book ‘Meditation Mind’ and playing songs on acoustic guitar accompanied by her husband on double-bass. There will be a short Q&A at the end. Every penny goes directly to Restore.
Emily’s performance starts at 7.00pm at Restore on Manzil Way, Cowley Road, Oxford, and tickets (£11.25 including a booking fee) are available by clicking on https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/emily-maguire-restore-meditation-mind-tour-tickets-49804548746

If you’re looking for some gift ideas for Christmas, come along to Restore’s Winter Fair on 27th November. Why not combine coming to the Winter Fair with having a lovely, fresh and healthy lunch at the Garden Cafe on Manzil Way?

We look forward to welcoming you along to our Winter Fair.

Moonrakers is an Oxford-based group of four musicians, some from the classical and some from the folk tradition. The fact that the band “just OOZES quality” (Living Tradition) is down to the careful arrangements and selection of tunes and songs, presenting “exquisite music” (BBC). Now with five albums under their belt and described as “startlingly talented” (Oxford Times), Moonrakers provide “truly wonderful” (Wycombe Festival) informal evenings of musical excellence and humour.

The choice of material is largely from the Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English traditions, reflecting a love of traditional and contemporary tunes and songs ‘in the idiom’.

All proceeds from ticket sales are going to support Restore

We’re thrilled to announce that Hollywood star Jeremy Irons will be bringing the hammer down on a wide range of money-spinning lots. The University of Oxford college, St Hugh’s, will be our hosts for an elegant evening at Restore’s largest fundraiser of the year.
