Oxford Festivals

The university celebrates Eights Week at the end of May, when the colleges enter crews in bumping races and beautiful people sip Pimm’s on the banks. In early September, Saint Giles Fair invades one of Oxford’s main streets with an old-fashioned English fun fair. Daybreak on May Day (May 1) cues one of Oxford’s most inspiring moments: the Magdalen College Choir sings madrigals from the top of the tower beginning at ­6am, and the town indulges in Morris dancing, beating the bounds, and other age-old rituals of merry men. Pubs open at ­7am.
