#OxonRun
Saturday August 31, 2024 8:30am - 10:00am BST
Following the success of our inaugural #OxonRun last year, this year we'll be doing it again - only this time we will be joining the official University Parks parkrun for a 5k run in the beautiful surroundings of Oxford University parks, just a few minutes warm-up jog from St Anne's. This has the advantage that runners and walkers can all go at their own pace within the context of the event.

Join Mike (the running elf from the 2020 costume masquerade...), shake out the cobwebs, and set yourself up for the second half of Oxonmoot.

Meet at the Porters Lodge at 8:30am so we can get across to the event in good time - the run itself starts at 9:00am.

Please ensure you have registered with parkrun before the event, and don't forget to bring your parkrun barcode with you. Details of the route can be found here.

Mike Percival

Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities (Head Dragon)
Mike Percival joined the Tolkien Society in 1983. A year later at his first Oxonmoot he thought to himself "the ambience of this party would be improved by using some stage lighting for the Ents". And the rest is history. Apart from doing tech at Oxonmoot almost ever since, Mike has... Read More →

Muster, Move and Groove: Middle Earth Style!
Saturday August 31, 2024 10:30am - 11:15am BST
Over the past few years, Maureen or Uinen, has taught Zumba and Yoga like sessions with a Middle Earth theme. Join her for a session to strengthen, stretch, and laugh to help connect with each other through movement. This session is open to all. Sit, stand, or observe from the arms of an Ent friend. Wear comfortable clothes, costumes if you like, fitness shoes, or just your hairy bare-feet. Look forward to familiar music associated with Middle Earth and those from our own world that very much feel like Middle Earth. Please note, although we have had reformed orcs in our number in past sessions, I am pleased to say no hobbits have been snacked upon! To date…

Shire Stroll
Saturday August 31, 2024 11:30am - 1:00pm BST
Ever thought that a bit of fresh air and exercise would be a good thing at Oxonmoot? But not feeling able to do the full Hobbit Hike?

Join Maggie on a gentle stroll (approximately 2 miles) across the University Parks and along the banks of the Cherwell.

Please wear sensible shoes and bring water. Note that in the event of inclement weather this may be cancelled or re-arranged at short notice.
