And just like that, they were gone. We have a waiting list. Also tickets on sale for lots more dances next year buytickets.at/oxfolkceilidhs

It’s International Men’s Day! Here are some of the marvellous men we’ve seen at Oxfolk so far this season.

All tickets are now gone for Saturday night, which makes us happy but might make you sad. If you missed out and would like to be added to the waiting list in case we get any returns, then send us an email.
We won't be selling tickets on the door, so don't turn up if you don't have a ticket.

Next Fri is going to be fun! If you missed out you can join our waiting list for returns at info@oxfolk.org.uk (the only official route for returns). Alternatively, there are still Blowzabella tickets available for Thu 23 in Dorchester + Sat 25 in Cecil Sharp House, London.

It’s a whole year since we started the session at the Horse & Jockey Stanford in the Vale, Oxon: trad folk songs + tunes from the local area + further afield! Thank you so much to everyone who has sung, played and listened - you’re part of a really special, welcoming and ever surprising event.

We don’t know that guy’s circumstances. I prefer to keep an open mind.

International Transgender Day of Visibility today. Trans and nonbinary people have long been part of our dance and music community, and it’s so good they are more visible today.

Emma Reid + Ellika Frisell are superb Swedish fiddle players - this is going to be very special. There’s a polska workshop with Kerry Fletcher. Sawney White Bird is supporting, so we’re extra excited!

If you want to find out about the hurdy-gurdy, @clairedugue.bsky.social is a very good place to start.

Happy #InternationalBagpipeDay! On Sat 12 April you can dance to Jakub Tomek, magical uilleann piper with Family Ceilidh Oxford. Thu 5 Jun we are joined by Anglo-French band Topette a master of the bagpipes of Central France. buytickets.at/oxfolkceilidhs #Oxford

Wilfrid is on the move! 😃 Having spent the last few months furthest south of all our tagged Cuckoos deep in the forests of Angola, he is now clearly feeling the urge to head back north. 🌍 Where is he now? ⬇️ #Ornithology

Melobo and I have an exciting trip to @ruffceilidhs.bsky.social
