What to do in Oxford and across Oxfordshire in February.

It’s a new year, and February has rolled around once again. Sometimes, the shortest month of the year can feel like a waiting game: the final slug of darkness and freezing temperatures until Spring officially starts in March, and when leaving a self-imposed Netflix hibernation finally seems feasible again.

But February’s actually not too shabby. It’s got a range of fantastic events right here on our doorstep – from exhibitions to musicals, shows and attractions. So stay focussed and make the most of this February in Oxford and across Oxfordshire.

Of course, this is a curated list of the top things to do in Oxford and across Oxfordshire this February. Be sure to visit 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.

Got an event that should be on the list? List your event on The Oxford Magazine and reach an engaged audience of people who live, work or place in Oxfordshire. Once again, welcome to your invaluable guide to what’s on in Oxford and across Oxfordshire this February.
