All Upcoming Events
Please note that this event has now been cancelled:
Create your own furry felt creature to take pride of place on your mantle – or your keys if you fall in love with the little critter and must have it near you at all times!
Join us at Restore for this Halloween craft workshop on Tuesday 29th October and learn how to make your very own critter, just in time for Halloween!
Needle felting is a simple and effective art where you can mould wool to create 3D shapes using a special needle. It’s quite easy to learn, and allows you to be as creative as you dare! The needles used are very sharp so we don’t recommend that children under 12 do the needle felting, instead the workshop will be divided so that younger children can stitch their own felt critter, and older children and adults can needle felt theirs.
A drink and snack are included in the price, all welcome and everything supplied!
Book your space now.

Come along and carve – or paint – your own pumpkin, and find out about the origin of the Jack O’ Lantern.
Join us at Restore for this Halloween craft workshop on Wednesday 30th October and learn how to carve your very own pumpkin, just in time for Halloween!
Is it even Halloween if you don’t have a pumpkin? Create your own spooky pumpkin design in this carving workshop that yours to take home to display outside or inside. We will be using pumpkin-carving kits to scoop out the squishy innards, cut through the tops, and carve your design, so children will be carefully monitored to make sure there are no accidents.
For younger children there will be paints for you to choose from to decorate your pumpkin.
A drink and snack are included in the price, all welcome and everything supplied!

We are really celebrating Halloween this year, so make sure that you dress up in your finest attire to join us for a scrumptious Pumpkin Tea Party in the Ghouls Café.

It’s a leap year and that means we have one extra day in 2020 – make it count!
This year we are encouraging you to use your extra day for charity.
Consider donating a day’s worth of your wage to Restore, all money raised will fund vital services for our members helping them in their recovery from mental ill-health.
Volunteer to give a day of your time to come to one of our Recovery Groups and help out with diy or gardening to make our facilities the best they can be for our members.
Or if you fancy doing an activity challenge in 2020, think about sponsorship. We’re glad to help you with promoting your giving pages, helping with social media, or with Restore-branded t-shirts, or flyers.
Run for fun at Blenheim Palace grounds and support Restore! Why not give something back, and take on the challenge for #GiveADay?
There’s something for everyone on the day: 7k run, children’s 1 mile event, wheelchair & buggy events, so the perfect opportunity to make a day of it. You could even bring a picnic!
Book your ticket online, then get sponsorship and raise some funds for Restore. You can set up your Just Giving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/start-fundraising
The 7k course is suitable for all ages and abilities. It offers a challenging run for the more experienced, and beautiful surroundings for the beginner or anyone who wants to take a more leisurely pace. The wheelchair and buggy event will differ slightly and take place over a 4-mile course following the trails around the grounds of Blenheim Palace.
All competitors will receive a medal, as well as prizes for the winners, and trophies for the fastest teams. The event is free for spectators, so why not make it part of a special day out, with family or friends?
Get fit in 2020 and give something back by riding at Bike Oxford for Restore! All ages and abilities welcome.
Why not make this challenge your way of giving back, in our #GiveADay initiative? Sign up with Team Restore today to get your free place.
Each rider will have a £200 sponsorship target – we’d really love you to help us beat last year’s £3,000 total! The money you raise will make a genuine difference in the lives of local people in recovery from mental ill-health.
