Here at Oasis Global Control, we are already looking ahead to an exciting autumn programme, with plenty to look forward to, and, of course, casting our mind ahead to how Oasis will celebrate the festive season.✨ We will save all that excitement till last, for now, grab a cuppa, get comfy and read on to discover what’s happening at Oasis this month and beyond. 💜

Tuesday 15th December from 7:00 pm – The Old Feathers. As we head into September it’s already time to think about Christmas! ‘Too soon Lilly!’, I hear you say, and just now there is nothing more to do than pop the date in your diary, and look out for an email in your inbox at the end of the month. And …………..of course, deciding on what you will plan to wear!

Make a stroke to the left, make a stroke to the right, put you hands on your float, pull your costume up tight, let’s do the Trans Swim again. Oasis is a broadchurch.
Love
Lilly
