Christmas parties in Bledington: local tips
Bledington is about 10 miles north of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. Wherever your Christmas party is in the OX7 area, we can bring the van to you. Bledington is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Bledington to Oxford (20 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Bledington Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If people are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Kingham station, roughly 0.6 miles east of the centre.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in OX7. Local streets include Main Street, Station Road and Old Forge Close; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Further out, we also take the van to Witney (10 miles south-east), Carterton (10 miles south), Chipping Norton (5 miles north-east), Woodstock (13 miles east), Cogges (11 miles south-east) and Bloxham (14 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Moore Cottage Hospital (4.9 miles west) and Park House Toy Collectors Museum (3.7 miles north-west).
