We’ve commissioned artists from Planet Art to design some artwork paid for by developer contributions, to go outside our Community Centres on Great Western Park in Didcot.

After a meet the artist event in May 2024 we are now putting the artists designs on display for members of the public to view and give us their feedback.

This will take place from Thursday 3-Thursday 17 October at the District Community Centre. The designs will be available to view 9am-8pm Monday to Friday and 11am-4pm at the weekend.

We have two other community centres. Find out more by clicking the tabs below:
