Turl Street Arts Festival
- Turl Street Arts Festival
The Turl Street Arts Festival is an annual week-long festival held in February, involving students from the three Turl Street Colleges in Oxford, England: Exeter College, Jesus College and Lincoln College.
It is organized by a committee comprising of students from the three colleges. Each year a different College takes lead of the Festival, nominating the Chair of the Festival from within their Junior Common Room (JCR).
Originally created by the Chaplains of the Colleges, the week varies from more formal events such as choral recitals to open mic nights and several plays. There are also opportunities for photography exhibitions and short film previews. The week traditionally ends with a Sunday Choral Evensong led by the combined choirs of the three colleges.
All events (excluding plays) are free and open to members of Oxford University.
Past festivals
In 2006, the Festival was opened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. Martha Fiennes was another guest speaker.
