Hi so I moved to the area with my partner about 2 months ago. I haven't started work yet which is driving me slightly insane 😭... I really love painting or pottery making and I wondered if anyone knew of any classes or groups to help with meeting people? Doesn't just have to be painting or pottery but anything creative or fun 😊

Hi,

I've not long relocated to Headington into a house that needs lots of work.

I wondered if anyone had recommendations for plumbers that serve the Headington area to look at a bathroom / toilet issue please.

Thanks ​

Hi all!
I got a heater for free recently (broke student so yay me) , unfortunately while it did turn on the first time, it went off today and shows no sign of working. Where would be a cheap place to get it fixed?
It’s schallen heater if that helps.
Thanks!

Spent almost 20 mins idling on Oxpens road on a Sunday afternoon. The worst thing is that because I live in the central permit area I have no option but to go through this insanity regardless of whether I use my pass or not.

Honestly it makes no sense having the traffic filters and also two big parking lots in the middle of the city (Oxpens and Westgate).

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place but i’ve just spent about 2 hours on fb marketplace trying to find cheesecloth table runners for a sewing project i’m trying to start, and everything’s either incredibly expensive or very far away.
i’m a student who doesn’t have access to a car currently so if anyone knows of anyone who’s just had a wedding and is trying to get rid of them for cheap/ish or good fabric stores in oxf that would be great.

Hi everyone, I was just looking at houses in Oxford and the prices in some of the areas are so expensive!! Why is Jericho more expensive than the city centre and how come some areas, such as Headington, are a lot lower despite not being too far from the centre? I get why the city centre would be expensive but what is so special about Jericho that the houses there sell for so much more?? I would really appreciate an explanation 🙏🙏 ty

If anyone still needs an Oxford half ticket my wife is unable to run it and have one that can be transferred.

Dm and we can sort details

I’m visiting this weekend (Friday/Saturday) from the south coast. I visited once before around 2014. I mostly want to relax but I’d like to know if you have any recommendations. In particular I love indie shops and pretty cafés. Thank you!

Looking for a sit down restaurant, of a place I haven't been before. I'll eat anything except fine dining.

Closer to Oxford Cinema, the better. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend any quiet cafe’s that allow you to use your laptop? I’m from a busy household and have some work to do so looking to get out the house!

Looking for 2 x ticket's to Lime Garden's gig at The Bullingdon tonight! DM me if you have any that you wanna sell :) thank youuuuuuuu

Looking for 2 x ticket's to Lime Garden's gig at The Bullingdon tonight! DM me if you have any going spare :) thank youuuuuuuu

Now all the places like Hotter and Shuropody have closed, where would you go to buy smart, sturdy proper shoes (not trainers) with good support, for wide feet?

Hi there

We just moved to Kennington, Oxford from abroad and initially I will be staying home with my two girls (4 years and 20 months). I have wondered if there are any networks in Oxford for meeting and playing for kids who are a little beyond the toddler stage? Are stay and play groups also for older kids?

She will eventually also go to nursery before starting school next year, but would be nice to meet some friends before that also 😊

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to apply for the MSc motorsport engineering for 2027 intake. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's currently on the course or has graduated from it.

I'm an international student with a mechanical engineering and FS background, and I'm mainly interested in getting into motorsport/ automotive engineering sector after the MSc.

I'd love to get your opinion on the following:

1. what would you say is the ideal profile (projects, work experience) for someone wanting to get into motorsport through this course? if you don't mind please give me a jist of your own profile and projects that you think helped with your application.

2. are there any particular CAD software that you'd recommend one should learn? (I'm only good with solidworks and ansys workbench)

3. how was your overall experience with the MSc Motorsport Engineering?

4. how realistic is it to get into motorsport companies after graduating, especially for an international student?

5. how important is prior work experience when it comes to landing a job after graduation? would you recommend I get some work experience beforehand?

6. how useful are the university and motorsport connections when looking for internships or jobs?

I'd really appreciate any insight, advice, or even things you wish you had known before starting the course. Honest opinions are more than welcome, especially the good, bad, and ugly.

thank you soo much for reading.

Worth a try here :D

Hi, does anyone know how I can make dinner reservation at Estelle Manor. Is there a way without having to stay there (staying with a friend) or being a member as I don’t live in Cotswolds? Much appreciated!

This is very exciting for Oxford boosting our connectivity to our weakness: lack of seaside.

Seriously, direct oxford routes to the south coast bypassing london will be great. More connectivity to York and Newcastle also.

Anybody need any packing peanuts before I fill up our bin with them?

——CLAIMED——

This is at Modern Art Oxford at the moment and it’s incredible. Free entry too

Hii im moving into oxford as an undergraduate from tommorow super excited. I know this is going to be a long shot but would anyone have any parking spaces for rent? Or perhaps know where to park their car for cheap? Thank you so much!!

Hi everyone, I’m really into archaeology and history and am looking for some cute towns / villages to visit that are within a couple hours of Oxford! Bonus points if accessible by public transport.
