Top Picks
A tidy shortlist for families who would quite like to leave the house without spending half the morning opening tabs. We keep it local, useful, and blessedly free of events that tell you absolutely nothing.
These picks come from the same behind-the-scenes legwork that powers Near Here. We check a frankly silly number of local listings, then keep the family-friendly ones that are nearby, properly described, and worth recommending.
1at City of Oxford Silver Band Hall
Our annual family summer concert is a friendly and relaxed event where you can hear all of our bands pay a selection of the pieces they have worked on over the year.
2Children from 3yrs upwards are welcome to join in with stories, games, activities and play. When the weather permits, we make the most of our beautiful outdoor church. Very young children are welcome to join with parents/carers in our play area where there are toys and games for everyone!
