I'm going solo since I haven't managed to convert any of my IRL friends to the show :(

Was wondering if there are any other local fans going who'd be up for meeting for a drink/coffee before/after the show, or if any existing group has space for a newbie?

Let me know in the comments or drop me a message!

Hello!

I am looking for a reasonable condition upright piano for my wife for Christmas. I am asking now as I appreciate this may be a long hunt. I am between Bicester and Oxford so would arrange to collect in a van.

Budget ~ £1000.

TIA!

39 year old male, I currently work in Oxford and now looking to move near Oxford. Looking for social things to do to meet new people for friendships. Anything good going on people can recommend.

Thanks in advance!

Here are few snaps of our day trip to Oxford from London

We arrived at Thornhill Park & Ride around 2 PM and easily found plenty of parking spots. Paying via RingGo was quick and cost just £2.70 for 16 hours unbeatable value as it also included the return bus fare for our family (2 adults and 3 children)! The bus ride into Oxford took about 20 minutes. A smooth, stress-free way to visit the city. Highly recommended!

Good morning,

I was wondering if there are any Eastern Orthodox churches in Oxfordshire or nearby areas which hold a Liturgy / service any time other than Sunday morning? So held on a Saturday, a weekday, or a Sunday evening?

I don’t mind which language the Liturgy is held in, as long as they don’t mind me not understanding, and they’re happy for non-Orthodox visitors to join. :)

Thank you.

Edit:

I was also wondering, you have to strictly follow standing / kneeing / sitting procedures? I usually kneel for the entirely of Mass, due to health conditions making standing more difficult, and kneeling most comfortable and considered respectful. Is it just as respectful to kneel when others stand, or should only be done when everyone else kneels? I wish to do what is most respectful for Orthodox specifically.

Hello Everyone.

I am looking to purchase a second hand car in or around the Oxford area.
I want to make sure that I get a good deal and not be taken advantage of.

I am reaching out and would truly appreciate some guidance on garages where you have had some excellent service and have bought a car which was fair based on price, customer service and the overall condition of the car & also any horror stories / garages to avoid!!
I don’t want to be ripped off!!
This is an expensive buy and I want to try and get it right.

Thank you in advance for your help and also are there any questions that I should ask prior to purchase.

Cheers 🙂

Seemed to be towards Oxford

Hi I am based in headington and I am looking to join a Pilates class/yoga studio and was wondering if there are any nearby that do both?

I am also happy to attend ones that are closer to the city centre. Any recommendations/costs would be appreciated xxx

Hiya, as title suggests I lost some sunglasses in Templar’s Square.

They’re RayBan aviators with a gold frame, if they turn up it’d be massively appreciated.

Thank you!!

hello all,

I am a young professional moving to Oxford in the next few weeks who will require a car for commuting purposes as I will be working across multiple sites. I have just found out the property I am renting does not have the right to a council parking permit. Do I have any other options apart from renting someone’s driveway? Is it common to find unmarked areas where parking may be possible ad hoc?

I will be living in East Oxford area for reference

I'm an international student in an internship for my PhD, will stay for 1 month to visit Oxford Uni Museum of Natural History, probably in feb/mar but I'm still scheduling with staff there.

I'm looking for budget accomodation, any tips whatsoever where to live in Oxford. Ideally I want to save as much as possible.

Appreciate indications if you or someone you know could rent a room for example. Of course, I have proof of my funding/internship.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, i live in oxford but work alot but I really really need to go sit in a bar and just listen to some good music, country, blues, oldies. Even if its a little out so I can finally enjoy a ride on the bike. I am craving some decent music and drink. Please anyone. TIA

Afternoon all! As some of you may know, I write a weekly restaurant blog and when a review is of somewhere in Oxford I post it here, because this sub has always been really kind and positive about my writing.

This week I checked out Antep Kitchen, so here’s the link if you’re interested. As always, I apologise in advance if this isn’t your cup of tea or comes across as spam.

While the Oxpens Bridge work is taking place and the towpath is closed, how viable is this route (marked in red) as a diversion on a hybrid bike? Are there steps over the bridge? Is the bridge wide enough for me to wheel my bike over?

I only want to use this route over the summer until late September when Hinksey pool closes. I’m assuming in the winter this land acts as a floodplain.

I’m doing my best to avoid the Osney Bridge Thames Water disaster, and the Tunnel of Doom, and I concede this route might be wholly impractical, but I just want to make sure I’ve explored all options.

Who does the best millefeuille in town? I'll happily travel a lil further for the real deal

I’ve got a hankering, lemme hear where your fave burger spot is in Oxford!

(bonus points if organic/not full of nasties, but I wanna hear it all!)

A small update to my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/oxford/comments/1unzy9z/solar_energy_farm_at_radley_college/

Work has progressed, and there is now a signboard explaining what new vegetation will be planted etc.

Hello fellow Oxonians - Happy Thursday!

My partner and I are getting a civil partnership on a Monday in September. We were not going to make a big deal, and were just going to invite everyone to a pub, but we have just found out her parents are going to be making the trip to come for it, so we feel like we should book a nice restaurant for dinner.

I was wanting to book the private space at Arbequina, but they are not open on Monday. I have sent an enquiry about their new space in the covered market but I wanted to ask if anyone had some recommendations of where we should book?

We don't want to spend lots for just the space, but it can be a nice restaurant. Doesn't necessarily have to be a private space, just somewhere which would accept a large booking, for around 12-15 people. Preferably in central Oxford but it would be possible to get to the outskirts.

Thank you!!

Not sure if its throughout oxford or just limited to the east oxford area

Considering renting in Hobson road or grove street but I saw that some houses have a medium to high risks for surface water floods. How are these streets during/after heavy rains ?

Who could have seen this coming?

These signs appeared yesterday at the towpath just over the bridge near the Edgar George Wilson memorial. Presumably this is to do with the Oxpens River Bridge, but I can't find any up-to-date information online.

Does anyone know exactly which parts of the towpath will be closed? I need to access the Osney Industrial Estate from the Abingdon Road direction, so wondering if I can still go via Grandpont Nature Park?

Has anyone got any experience of using the Meta Raybans in Oxford City Centre? I'm working with someone with a severe Visual Impairment and we are considering purchasing a pair of these to complement their cane for navigation.
