Your neighbourhood is full of surprises.
Your next favourite activity could be just around the corner.
Literally.
From 5–13 September 2026, Community Activities Week is your invitation to discover everything that's happening across OX3.
Whether you've lived here for six months or sixty years, you might be surprised by what's happening just around the corner.
Whether you've always fancied joining a choir, trying your hand at model railway, getting outdoors with a walking group or simply finding somewhere to enjoy a cup of tea and a chat, OX3 Community Activities Week is the perfect time to give it a go.
This September, local activities, groups and organisations across Barton, Headington, Marston, Northway, Risinghurst, Sandhills and Wood Farm are giving an extra warm welcome to new faces. Some are opening their doors for free taster sessions or special events, while others are simply making it the perfect time to come along for the first time.
Looking for a new hobby?
A new crowd?
A new routine?
A new challenge?
A change of scene?
This could be the week you find it.
