A new mural brings Banbury’s people, stories and legends to life.

​​

More than 70 Bicester College students took part in a competition to research Banbury and create a mural capturing the character of the town, working alongside artist Andrew ‘Mani’ Manson (@theBigOrangeM).

​

The winning design, created by Reggie Heslin, Molly Hayword, Abigail Lees, Harrison Collins and Evie Smith, with painting support from Honey Durrant-Rance and Ed White, celebrates Banbury's people and stories against the backdrop of the annual Canal Festival.
