Didcot mayor’s Halloween gig raises funds for Sustainable Didcot and railway centre

Published on

A Halloween concert at Didcot Civic Hall brought together music fans and local performers, with The Curse of Khan and Lunar Kites appearing at the event on Saturday.

The gig was arranged by Didcot mayor David Rouane, who selected Sustainable Didcot and Didcot Railway Centre as the beneficiaries of the fundraising initiative.

The railway centre is located beside Didcot Parkway.

For his 2026/27 term as mayor, Rouane said he had chosen the two charities because they demonstrate the strengths of Didcot.

Sustainable Didcot is described as a community action group that brings residents together around environmentally sustainable living and increases awareness of climate change.

Didcot Railway Centre is the town’s foremost tourist attraction and celebrates local history through activities designed to encourage young people to explore how things work.

During the school summer holidays, Sustainable Didcot and Didcot Railway Centre had also joined forces to offer free lunches and entertainment to members of the community who are less advantaged.
