Events in Oxford From 8th June – 14th June 2026

This week in Oxford, you can find a variety of events across different interests. Families with young children might try interactive workshops held at Modern Art Oxford or events at the Ashmolean Museum. For intellectual engagement, look to free curator-led tours at Modern Art Oxford or the poetry and art workshop at the Ashmolean. If you're after live music, check O2 Academy Oxford for tribute acts like The Beast UK or performances by The Tumbling Paddies. Other options include stand-up from Rufus Rice at Glee Club Oxford or a cinematic set from Silenzio and the Night at Florence Park Community Centre. For social events, a speed dating session runs at The Varsity Club and the World Cup Kick-Off BBQ takes place at The Playhouse. If you're visiting, note that central Oxford has congestion; consider using Park and Ride facilities. Events extend to locations like Kassam Stadium, so check transport options if attending a match. The railway station connects well, but bus services to Cumnor and Eynsham are limited. Harwell Campus and Abingdon HQ are nearby, so some events may suit the science and tech community.
