What’s on in Oxford and across Oxfordshire in August.
Hello and welcome to your invaluable guide to what’s on in Oxford and across Oxfordshire this August.
Sadly, the Fairport Cropredy Convention that was originally scheduled for 12 to 14 August 2021 is one of several events that have been cancelled because of the lockdown extension.
However, with the lifting of the remaining lockdown restrictions, there’s plenty to see and do in Oxford and across Oxfordshire this August, and this is just a curated list.
The Henley Royal Regatta - a staple of the British Sporting and Summer season in June/July, has been rescheduled to mid-August.
Take advantage of the sunny weather (fingers crossed) by heading out into Oxfordshire’s great outdoors - to catch a musical festival, an outdoor play or performance, a food festival, or perhaps an open-air movie.
And while you’re at it, explore the county’s parks and open spaces, book a table at one of Oxfordshire’s best restaurants with outdoor seating, or enjoy afternoon tea in one of the many fine country homes within easy reach.
Be sure to visit our “What’s on section”, where you’ll find more events in Oxford and across Oxfordshire, as well as a limited number of unmissable events beyond the county that would make for a great day out.
Got an event that should be on the list? List your event on The Oxford Magazine and let us help you reach a local audience of people who live, work or place in Oxfordshire.
