Events in Oxford From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find a diverse mix of events across Oxford this week, from family play sessions to live music and cultural exhibitions. St Aldate's, Cornmarket, and Broad Street host interactive shows exploring nature through hands-on displays at the Museum of Modern Art, with selected college chambers opening for public access during special hours. Creative play mornings take place in Jericho’s green spaces like South Park and Holywell Recreation Ground, offering sensory-focused activities for young children. Acoustic concerts designed for infants happen regularly at Oxford Playhouse's smaller hall, giving parents space to engage without disturbance. Storytelling walks trace routes from Carfax through Christ Church Meadows and along the River Cherwell’s towpath, interpreting medieval land use and university development patterns. Sharp comedy nights unfold weekly in student-run venues near the Sheldonian Theatre, including The Old Fire Station café bar at 19:30 on Sunday evenings. Late-night sets by local DJs occur every weekend at pub basements like The Trout Inn (New Road). Seasonal egg hunts take place in St Giles and the Radcliffe Quadrangle, while guided outdoor adventures begin at Oxford Ice Rink and continue through Abingdon HQ parkland. These events reflect a city balancing tradition with innovation: family-friendly programming coexists with experimental music nights hosted by Harwell Campus collaborators.
