We love May Morning. It’s one of those times when Oxford really shines. If you’ve never experienced it before, May Day in Oxford is something special. At sunrise, crowds gather on Magdalen Bridge to hear the choir sing in summer, followed by Morris dancing and music all across the city.
It’s like a joyful treasure hunt through the city centre, with pockets of celebration springing up everywhere—and the Covered Market is no exception.
This article and our socials will be updated with all the latest info.
