What’s on in Oxford and across Oxfordshire this April
Hello and welcome to your invaluable guide to the best events, exhibitions and things to do throughout April 2023 in Oxford and across Oxfordshire.
Winter is finally over, and we’re all starting to emerge from hibernation. Plus, April brings with it longer and occasionally mild and sunny days.
With a four-day bank holiday weekend (and we’ve a separate guide for what to do in Oxford and across Oxfordshire this Easter), it’s time to properly commit to socialising again and to start planning for an amazing month with our selection of the best events and things to do in Oxford and across Oxfordshire.
And speaking of mild and sunny days, be sure to check out some of the best parks, open spaces and nature reserves in our neck of the woods as the flowers and trees start to bloom. And we’ve even put together a list of some of the best places to enjoy the sun in Oxfordshire – because we’re good like that!
As you very well know, this is a curated list of things to do in Oxford and across Oxfordshire this April. Do take a look at the ‘What’s on’ section of the website, where you’ll find a full list of events in Oxford and across Oxfordshire, as well as unmissable events beyond the county that would make for a great day out.
