Sessions

Traditional music sessions hosted in pubs around the city are part of the core Oxford Folk Festival experience.

 

Oxford has a lively session scene, with music taking place between 3 and 4 days a week and spanning most of the traditions enjoyed in the UK. All of this culminates each year at our festival in a three-day sesssion trail, running from midday until 1.30am!
