About the North Parade Market

Established in July 2012, the first market was held the following October. Since then, market has quickly become one of the most highly regarded markets in the North Oxford area.

The market features organic and artisan producers from the local area, who bring life and colour to this pleasant avenue in the central north Oxford area.

The North Parade Market takes place every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month on North Parade Avenue which runs between the Woodstock Road (Church Walk, leading to North Parade Avenue) and Banbury Road.

Ella Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human
2026-05-23 19:30 | The North Wall Arts Centre, South Parade, Oxford, OX2 7JN
Ella Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human

About Ella Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human

This is the story of Homo sapiens… us.

Host of BBC landmark show Human, Ella Al-Shamahi, palaeoanthropologist, TV presenter, explorer and stand up, presents a talk on our remarkable origin story.

Once upon a time, we shared this planet with many species of humans – it has been said that our world was a bit like The Lord of the Rings. To start with, we Homo sapiens weren’t that remarkable; our origins were, in fact, rather humble and yet somehow today we are the only ones left.

But we didn’t just survive against all odds, we thrived, innovated and travelled like no other species of human – becoming the explorer species who built cities, iPhones and painted the Sistine Chapel. Our success was profound, but how on Earth did it happen and at what cost?

Ella Al-Shamahi started studying evolution as a creationist and so she interweaves her own story, demonstrating the power of tribalism not just in the past, but also in the present. Expect a talk that draws on the latest discoveries, heart, humour and wild expedition stories.

Al-Shamahi is a National Geographic Explorer specialising in searching for fossils in Palaeolithic caves in politically unstable, hostile and disputed territories. She is the presenter of HUMAN, a flagship BBC/PBS science series, as well as other TV and radio shows. She is also the author of a Times/Sunday Times book of the year, ‘The Handshake: A Gripping History.’

People have come from all over to start their lives again on the Isle of St Jude – a namesake that means hope.

When an American doctor comes to take a break from his stressful job to stay with a cousin, he says he will only stay a while. But the longer he stays the more he finds himself wrapped up amid the tales of the locals – an ex-policeman, a drunkard, a mother and her son…

About The Magic Tower

University of Oxford Student Season: Trinity Term 2026

By Tennessee Williams

“Make-believe? Of course it isn’t! It’s absolutely real.”

Linda and Jim live in a run-down garret. They have made the room into their refuge, a hidey-hole from landladies and late bills. Together they imagine magical forests, laugh among their unpacked boxes, safe in their room, curtains closed. But when Jim leaves in pursuit of his big break, the tower begins to crumble.

This is Tennessee Williams’ rarely staged one-act play. Distilling his rich characterisation into under an hour, it powerfully lays bare how economic realities come knocking and escapism is nothing but a thin, flimsy sheet.

About O2 Academy Oxford

The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.

Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.

A Beautiful Thread

About A Beautiful Thread

Presented by Hambletts

Starring Anton Lesser

In A Beautiful Thread, Oxford Playhouse favourite, Anton Lesser (Endeavour, Wolf Hall, Game of Thrones) tells the story of Thomas Hardy’s life – as dramatic as any of his books – in Hardy’s own words, through his sublime poetry, letters, and great novels, including Far From the Madding Crowd, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure.

Anton Lesser and Lucia Bonbright bring a hugely varied cast to dazzling life: from Hardy’s immortal characters, Hardy himself, his mother, Jemima and wives, Emma and Florence, to George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf!

The show highlights Hardy’s humour (often overlooked!), his modernity, the astonishing time-span he lived through, and his global reach, from Japan to Hollywood. Adapted by Deirdre Shields, Hardy’s extraordinary writing shines bright as ever.

Thomas Hardy put more music in his novels than any other writer, and Orchestra of the Swan’s Artistic Director, David Le Page has devised a musical programme of shimmering beauty that weaves around the words, from classical music to contemporary folk, performed live by on-stage musicians from Orchestra of the Swan.

From Hambletts, the creative team that brought Red Sky at Sunrise: Laurie Lee in Words and Music to Oxford Playhouse.

Words and Music is a kind of unique genre, neither pure reading, nor acting, but with an immediacy that comes from the huge emotional impact the music has upon the words, and vice versa, and the interplay we actors enjoy with the musicians on-stage. Quite simply, it’s the most enjoyable thing I’ve ever done!”

Anton Lesser (Endeavour, Wolf Hall, Andor, Game of Thrones)

The Summer Eights 2026
2026-05-27 00:00 - 2026-05-30 23:59 | The Isis, River Thames, Oxford, Oxfordshire
The Summer Eights

About the Summer Eights

Oxford’s iconic bumps regatta

The Summer Eights is one of two bumping boat races in Oxford’s rowing calendar, alongside the Torpids. The regatta takes place each May over four successive days, from Wednesday to Saturday of the fifth week of Trinity Term, drawing spectators and rowing enthusiasts from across the city and beyond.

Racing on the Isis

The races are held on the Isis, a stretch of the River Thames in Oxford. The river is generally too narrow for side-by-side racing, so crews compete in the traditional ‘Bumps’ format. In this style of racing, boats chase each other in single file, aiming to catch and ‘bump’ the crew ahead to move up the rankings.

For each division, twelve boats line up at the downstream end near Donnington Bridge, with each cox holding onto a rope attached to the bank, leaving roughly 1.5 lengths between boats. Racing begins with a series of cannon signals: a five-minute gun, a one-minute gun, and the starting gun.

When a bump occurs, both crews involved stop racing and move aside to allow the rest of the division to pass. The ultimate aim is to become Head of the River and retain the top position. It is also possible to over-bump, where a boat overtakes the one ahead if the two crews in front have already bumped, swapping places for the following day or next year.

Spectator experience

Expect the banks of the Isis to be packed with spectators, enjoying the excitement as oars slice through the serene waters. The atmosphere combines tradition, competition, and community, making Summer Eights one of Oxford’s most cherished sporting events.

The regatta is organised by Oxford University Rowing Clubs, the confederation overseeing all college crews and inter-collegiate contests within the University of Oxford. This includes the Oxford University Boat Club (OUBC), Oxford University Women’s Boat Club (OUWBC), the Oxford University Lightweight Rowing Club (OULRC), and the Oxford University Women’s Lightweight Rowing Club (OUWLRC).

Museum of Oxford Walks: Pre-Raphaelite Adventures in Oxford

About Museum of Oxford Walks: Pre-Raphaelite Adventures in Oxford

Oxford is exceptionally rich in its associations with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a 19th-century artistic movement known for its veneration of detail, elegance and beauty. This insightful 90-minute walk will bring the artistic spirit of mid-19th century Oxford to life, taking you to the key locations in Oxford associated with the movement and its artists, and with particular reference to Oxford-inspired paintings.

You’ll see where Jane Burden, embroiderer and muse, once lived at ‘Hell’s Passage’, the Oxford Union, home to Pre-Raphaelite murals and a noteworthy debacle involving Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Magdalen College Tower and the story of a particular May Morning, plus more locations significant to the works and lives of John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris, Jane Burden, Elizabeth Siddall – and not forgetting author-cum-photographer Lewis Carroll – plus their important patrons, John Ruskin and Thomas Combe.

The walk is near-circular, beginning at the Museum of Oxford and ending outside the Oxford Union (St Michael’s Street).

Join a tour of Pre-Raphaelite Artists in Oxford to see Oxford through the eyes of an expert and uncover the artistic histories embedded in our city.

Accessibility and further information:

Meeting point: Museum of Oxford shop (located inside the Oxford Town Hall). Please arrive 5 minutes before the start of the walk and check in at the Museum Shop with our friendly front of house team.

The walk lasts 1.5 hours.

The itinerary includes cobbled streets, uneven surfaces and narrow pavements. Additionally, one of the stops is accessed via a very narrow passageway (optional). Please email museum@oxford.gov.uk if you would like to discuss any access requirements ahead of booking a walk.

Please note that this walk is recommended for ages 16+.

Your ticket also gives you access to the MOX galleries on the day of the walk, at any time during opening hours.

Jon Spencer

About Jon Spencer

Legendary garage-rock frontman Jon Spencer brings his high-energy, fuzz-drenched sound to the stage for a night of raw riffs, punk attitude and electrifying live performance.

Known for his explosive stage presence and genre-blurring mix of blues, punk and noise rock, Spencer delivers shows that feel immediate, unpredictable and full of controlled chaos.

Expect a set packed with distorted guitar lines, driving rhythms and shouted, swaggering vocals that push the boundaries between structure and improvisation. Rather than a polished, conventional gig, this is a visceral live experience where intensity and spontaneity take centre stage.

A must-see for fans of uncompromising rock ’n’ roll, the show promises sweat, volume and energy in equal measure — the kind of performance that thrives on atmosphere, crowd connection and sheer sonic force.

About O2 Academy Oxford

The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.

Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood. Visit the venue information page for further details, including opening times, getting there, age restrictions and more.
