Last year we were ready and raring to go, just when Covid-19 hit. This year we’re thrilled to bring you a brand new festival – indoors, outdoors and online. However you prefer to join in, we have something for you... ...Fly with superheroes or listen in on private conversations in our on-demand online shows. Plug into a VR headset for three different experiences. Join a pair of pirates in Wellington Square Gardens. Go on a unique walking tour of Oxford. Meet a giant puppet on Gloucester Green. Jump into a drag gameshow. Watch a theatre performance designed for just one person. Don’t miss all the activity taking place on Gloucester Green Market, too – all free, and all about having a conversation you wouldn’t expect. Use art to tell us about living in Oxford. Print something on a gorgeous letterpress. Write a poem, have a cup of tea with a stranger, share lemonade with a police officer. Offbeat is your chance to make a new kind of connection. Offbeat Festival is a collaboration between the Old Fire Station and Oxford Playhouse. It’s our favourite time of year, when we get to work together to fill our venues – and the space between them – with fun, intriguing, exciting art.
Tickets for all Old Fire Station ie OFS Theatre, Studio, and bar shows are available in person or from: 01865 263 990 www.oldfirestation.org.uk

WED 23 – SAT 26 JUNE
Being informed is tricky, isn’t it? You want to be in the know, but the news is just so boring! We know how you feel, hun. That’s why whenever we talk facts and figures we drench everything in PINK and GLITTER so that we’ll be able to retain your attention. Because that’s what women need… right?
VARIOUS 30 MIN SLOTS RUNNING ALL DAY
Numbers (For Girls) is an installation which explores uncomfortable statistics and those pesky, deep-seated sexist ideas that underpin our society. Barbie doesn’t make feminist installations, but if she did, it would probably look something like this.
