It's that time of the year again, when everyone in the UK, Europe and even some parts of America unite to celebrate...being Irish. I don't know if it's the beer theme, the good luck or just the love of novelty leprechaun and four-leaved clover hats, but St Patrick's Day has really captured the public imagination.
Oxford is certainly no exception. Here's my pick of the top events:
Oxford Irish Society (Over-50s)
Where: Lord Nuffield Club, Cowley
What: Lunch of bacon, cabbage and apple pie, traditional Irish music and dancing.
Rosie O'Grady's
Where: Park End Street
What: Irish music from 2pm, with three bands playing. Special Irish food, including Irish stew and Ulster fry.
Rumour has it that Rosie O'Grady's will soon become an English pub, so make the most of it this year!
Witney's own Wychwood Brewery will be distributing 'Paddy's Tout', a special beer for the day. You can try it in pubs around Marston.
