The Oxhey Village Jumble Trail took place on Saturday 12 September 2026.
The event returned following a few years away. Almost 50 residents set up stalls outside their homes, turning their front doorsteps into bric-a-brac stores for the day. As is often the case for the Jumble Trail, residents told us they’d had a fantastic day of chatting with neighbours and meeting new people.
Our chosen charity for the event was Watford Foodbank, and we were delighted that donations from stall holders, and sales of the official map, raised £280. The OVEG committee agreed to top-up the final amount to £300 – helping to support this local charity that does amazing work for people in crisis.
We were also pleased to receive a significant amount of food donations – enough to fill a car boot – including pasta, rice, biscuits and tea bags – which our volunteers delivered to the food bank.
Throughout the day, we sold almost 100 maps, guiding treasures hunters all over the village; from Villiers Road and Firbank Drive, to Oxhey Avenue and Cross Rad, plus many others.
Amongst a wide variety of goods on sale, such as toys, books, clothes, and food, those passing down Villiers Road were able to taste fresh lemonade, as well as having the chance to taste snacks from new local business Yona’s Crisps.
