Along with the opportunity to immerse yourself in the Literary Festival, Oxford is also gearing itself up for ‘Oxfringe’, celebrating drama, theatre, comedy and music across the City

Still in its infancy, Oxfringe eventually hopes to rival other fringe festivals around the country (Brighton, Cambridge and Bath to name but a few), and whilst it’s never going to be in the same league as Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the organisers believe that

“Oxfringe is the dream for people who go to Edinburgh and love it who wanted something like that in Oxford” (Co-director, Heather Dunmore)

There are 13 days of events with over 150 live performances, which compared to last year (there were just over 40 events), shows that it’s certainly growing in scope. Any opportunity to put Oxford on the map certainly has my vote.

The festival runs from 1^st – 13^th April and a full list of festival events can be found at oxfringe.com

I have been to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and I really enjoy it. There are so many things to see and do, and there is always a real buzz in the air. I really think that Oxford is the kind of place that is perfect for a festival like this, as it offers all of the beautiful architecture and history taht Edinburgh has. Some would even say that it has more! I can’t wait to see some of the performances at the festival, I think thatn it will be great fun for all involved. Whether you are a fan of dance or drama, they’ll be something that you’ll enjoy.
