Cowley Road Carnival is making a vibrant return after five years on Sunday 1 September.
This much-loved day of celebration, art and culture will be returning to Cowley Road, Oxford with the theme Our Nature, Our Future. The event emphasises environmental sustainability, encouraging participants to use recycled materials for costumes and eco-friendly floats.

Artistic Director Pax Nindi announced a series of exciting pre-carnival events, including the Mas Camp Programme in August, where the community designed costumes in line with the carnival’s environmental theme. There will be house floats, street parties, and a diverse range of performances, from live music to dance and drama.

Board member Alex Singleton expressed his excitement, saying, "I cannot stop smiling knowing we will be doing what we last did in 2019. As a local artist and parent, I am honoured to be part of this exciting rebirth."

Whether it’s participating in the procession, attending the pre-carnival events, or simply spreading the word, everyone is invited to get involved. Find out more here: Cowley Road Carnival

Since The Store opened on the former site of Boswells it has become my go-to place to meet friends. Squishy velvet sofas, friendly staff, delicious coffee and a relaxed yet luxurious vibe (reluxed?). There’s also the possibility of spotting an A-lister amongst the mix of glamorous guests and locals hanging out in the lounge or slipping through to retreat down to the spa. I’ve also cocktailed on the roof (those views!) and dined at Treadwell, the hotel’s modern British restaurant, so I didn’t need asking twice if I would like to go along to review the new Spring menu.
