7 (or so) brilliant things to do in and around Oxford this weekend

Looking for some inspo on what to do with yourself in Oxford this weekend? Well, look no further because we’ve done the work and pulled together seven or so brilliant things for you to do in and around Oxford this coming weekend - you know, the kind of things worth making time for.

First up though, summer seems to have properly arrived at last. And with it comes rooftop bar openings, sunny park picnics, open-air theatre and Aperol-soaked Saturday afternoons spent hopping between beer gardens.

With midday temperatures forecast to be in the high teens, art lovers can shuttle between pop-up galleries and other amazing venues across Oxford to feast their eyes on works by hundreds of artists, makers and designers as part of Oxfordshire Artweeks.

Or if you prefer just to while away the tedious hours before supper with a meal or a few drinks, you might want to peruse our list of restaurants with outdoor seating areas to find the right setting for you.

Of course, there are always exhibitions and things to see at our iconic museums - The Ashmolean, the Museum of Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museum - and at our smaller, more intimate cultural venues like the North Wall Arts Centre and Modern Art Oxford.

And if you visit the Weston Library on Broad Street, you’ll discover the story of the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb through the eyes of the archaeologists on the ground at a new exhibition.

Whatever you get up to, do get out there and enjoy your weekend.
