Jericho’s subsequent unsavoury reputation contrasts with its embrace of cultural icons such as the Pre-Raphaelites\, Thomas Hardy\, Inspector Morse\, Philip Pullman\, and Alice in Wonderland. \n\n\n\nJoin this talk for a journey through Jericho’s inspiring history and discover a unique perspective on Oxford’s ‘dangerously hospitable’ 200-year-old suburb. \n\n\n\nSigned copies of A Jericho Scrapbook: Inside an Oxford Community Saved from Destruction will be available for purchase in the MOX Shop at an exclusive discounted price. \n\n\n\nFurther information \n\n\n\nMark Davies is an Oxford local historian\, public speaker\, and guide. His publications include the social and cultural importance of the city’s waterways (A Towpath Walk in Oxford; Alice in Waterland; Alice’s Oxford on Foot; What a Liberty!)\, historical crime (Stories of Oxford Castle; The Abingdon Waterturnpike Murder)\, and a biography of the first English hot-air balloonist\, James Sadler (King of All Balloons). \n\n\n\nHe is a trustee of the Lewis Carroll Society\, a member of the Society of Authors\, Chair of the Jericho Living Heritage Trust (to which all proceeds of the sale of A Jericho Scrapbook will be donated)\, and on the committee of the Alliance of Literary Societies. \n\n\n\nMeeting point \n\n\n\nThere is step-free\, level entry access to the Town Hall via the entrance closest to Carfax Tower (to the left of the main steps as you face the Town Hall).

What do you know that everyone else knows? \n\n\n\nAs a cognitive scientist\, the ultimate subject of Steven Pinker’s fascination is how we think about each other’s thoughts\, ad infinitum. This awareness is called common knowledge – and it has a momentous impact on our social\, political\, and economic lives. \n\n\n\nCommon knowledge can make sense of financial bubbles and crashes\, revolutions that come out of nowhere\, the posturing and pretence of diplomacy\, the eruption of social media shaming mobs and academic cancel culture\, and the awkwardness of a first date. \n\n\n\nBut people also go to great lengths to avoid common knowledge―to ensure that even if everyone knows something\, they can’t know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy\, veiled bribes and threats\, sexual innuendo\, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room. \n\n\n\nReturning to How To Academy to explore these paradoxes of human behaviour\, Harvard’s most renowned psychologist will invite us to understand the ways we try to get into each other’s heads – and the harmonies\, hypocrisies\, and outrages that result. \n\n\n\nEvery live ticket includes a copy of Steven’s new book\, ‘When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows…’ (RRP £25.00). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £44.32 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 01 October 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour 50 minutes\, including an interval \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n14+ at the discretion of a parent or guardian. \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nAll tickets will include one copy of Steven Pinker’s new book “When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.

Locally\, outrage has tended to be mixed with an acute sense of loss\, disempowerment\, frustration\, and grief. Tamesis Unweaving aims to develop ways of addressing and acknowledging these emotions\, through collective discussion\, introspection\, creativity\, and action.   \n\n\n\nThis workshop will focus on the Tamesis robe\, currently on display in the Lower galleries of the OFS\, and use textile art to provide a framework for talking about and processing ecological emotions\, putting names to undefined feelings\, re-stitching our connections to the more-than-human-world in an approachable\, accessible way\, and helping our community find pathways towards taking action\, through citizen science\, art\, and activism. \n\n\n\nLed by artist Anya Gleizer\, the workshop will involve quilting and embroidery\, drawing\, and water-based painting. The results of each workshop will be added (with your permission!) to the Tamesis Robe\, a tapestry garment whose train is a to-scale large-scale map of the Thames Watershed. Over time\, the piece\, and the workshops\, will tour to more communities along the Thames River watershed\, adding further depth to the collective artwork. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFree event \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSunday 08 June 2025 at 10.00am \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nThis event is held in association with the Right Here\, Right Now Global Climate Summit\, as part of the Oxford Local Programme of events themed around climate change\, human rights\, and climate justice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Old Fire Station\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Fire Station in Oxford is an arts centre with a unique social mission\, combining creativity with community impact.

The camp saw action during WWII: as a training centre\, for housing returning troops from Dunkirk and assisting in demobbing soldiers. \n\n\n\nBut it was after 1945 that the wooden huts and network of tarmacked roads served their most useful function when the camp was used to help deal with the post-war housing crisis. Army buildings became family homes as hundreds of people arrived to set up a new community. \n\n\n\nThe neighbourhood grew and thrived with Shotover Woods becoming a playground for the children who lived there. The last residents left the camp in the early 1970s\, but the history of the place and the people who lived there mirrors the development of modern-day Oxford and tells us much about social and cultural changes in the city. \n\n\n\nJoin Maurice East to hear how ordinary people built a community in the aftermath of war and how the fascinating story was rediscovered during lockdown fifty years later. \n\n\n\nComplimentary tea and coffee will be available to enjoy during the talk. We recommend arriving before the start of the talk if you would like to grab a refreshment. \n\n\n\nSales from tickets help support our work to deliver fun and accessible family activities\, community engagement projects\, school workshops\, exhibitions\, and special events for Oxford’s people in our Museum spaces. \n\n\n\nMaurice East is a local historian who was born and raised in Oxford. He interprets the social history of the city through the lens of growing up as a ‘townie’ and shines a spotlight on stories far off the usual tourist trail. His main area of research is the history of car making at Cowley and how the arrival of industry\, cars\, and blue-collar workers changed Oxford forever in the early twentieth century. \n\n\n\nAccess: \n\n\n\nThere is step-free\, level entry access to the Town Hall via the entrance closest to Carfax Tower (to the left of the main steps as you face the Town Hall). Inside the Museum\, Museum Makers is accessible via a platform lift to the Galleries and then a lift to the basement. \n\n\n\nAccessible toilets are available in the Museum (close to Museum Makers) and in the Town Hall on the ground floor\, before entering the Museum.

With local historian and Morris expert Mike Heaney. \n\n\n\nWhy are Oxford’s streets full of Morris dancers on May Morning? What’s the history of this centuries-old art form? And how did a momentous 1899 Boxing Day meeting in snowy Headington spark renewed interest in this ancient tradition? \n\n\n\nMorris dancing has been a feature of Oxfordshire life for nearly half a millennium. This talk looks at some of the ups and downs of Oxfordshire’s Morris history\, how its dancers inspired the folk revival\, and how to spot the different styles of the teams you might see on the streets of Oxford today\, from men dressed in white to women in clogs and masked dervishes with whirling and clattering sticks. \n\n\n\nComplimentary tea and coffee will be available to enjoy during the talk. We recommend arriving before the start of the talk if you would like to grab a refreshment. \n\n\n\nSales from tickets help support our work to deliver fun and accessible family activities\, community engagement projects\, school workshops\, exhibitions\, and special events for Oxford’s people in our Museum spaces. \n\n\n\nMike Heaney spent over forty years of his professional career at the Bodleian Library\, at the same time pursuing his interests in folk customs and local history. He’s a musician for the Eynsham Morris\, having lived in the village for over 25 years\, and is an authority on Morris dancing. His book The Ancient English Morris Dance was published in 2023 and has rapidly been acknowledged as the definitive history of the Morris. \n\n\n\nAccess \n\n\n\nThe doors at the step-free accessible entrance to Oxford Town Hall are undergoing essential maintenance work on Wednesday 16 April 2025.
