The busiest months for festivals here are March, May, September and November, counting each month an event runs in. Months for listings without confirmed dates come from the organiser's usual timing, so treat them as a guide.

What our Oxford guide says about those seasons:

Spring (March to May)

Gärten und Wiesen schlagen aus. In den Prüfungswochen sind manche Colleges für Besucher geschlossen, prüfen Sie daher vorab.

Autumn (September to November)

Schönes Licht auf dem Stein und der Beginn des Studienjahres, abends mit ruhigeren Straßen.
