A group of local artist were told “you can have a free reign” to paint murals on a wall on Cowley Road owned by a local estate agent in Marston Street

Every year Oxford women organize an International Women's Festival, which takes place in March and lasts two weeks. It is a rich and varied celebration of aspects of women's lives. This year the theme is 'Women's Voices' and the Network of Oxford Women (NOW) for Justice and Peace has decided, as part of its contribution to the festival, to sponsor a women's singing group. We are now looking for women to come and join us in this exciting project - experience is not necessary. Come to our first meeting on Tuesday 22 in the Town Hall and help us choose the songs for our performance on 10 March.We will be including Greenham Common and suffragette songs in the programme.
