Welcome to the Didcot and District Woodturners website.

If you live or work within our region and would like the help, support and companionship of fellow woodturners then we would welcome you to our club.  We meet monthly at the Freeman Hall, High Street, Harwell, Oxfordshire on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m.  Interested participants, whom we like to think of as potential new members, are welcome to attend these meetings and your initial visits will be on a guest basis, so that you can "sound us out" before we ask you to join.  Junior members are welcome, provided they are at least 7 years of age, but those under the age of 12 years must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.  We encourage members of either gender and of any ethnic or religious background and of any nationality: equally you may be a beginner, an experienced turner or simply wanting to find out more about the craft before proceeding further - all who are interested in woodturning and who agree to abide by the Club's rules and constitution are welcome.   Please feel free to contact the committee, as listed below, if you would like further information or assistance.

Our program includes monthly demonstration evenings and "hands-on" evenings, a full list of which, for the current season, is shown below.
