A WEEK-LONG festival celebrating social change will return to Oxford this spring.
Marmalade, formerly OxfordJam, will take over the Old Fire Station in George Street and other venues from Monday, April 13 to Friday, April 17.
Organisers describe it as “a week-long conversation about ideas for social change”.
All events are free and run by inspired individuals and independent organisations.
On Wednesday, April 15, homeless charity Crisis, based at the Old Fire Station, will hold a workshop “exploring food and social change”.

On the Thursday, Arts Council England chairman Sir Peter Bazalgette and other arts professionals will join Arts at the Old Fire Station for a discussion entitled “Art and Money – where’s the Change?”.
On the same day UnLtd, a foundation for social entrepreneurs, will hold events about social enterprise.
Other contributors will include Hub Ventures, the group of ventures that includes Student Hubs, Worthwhile and the Turl Street Kitchen.
Staff will present a guided tour of the past, present and future of the sector they have grown up in, to discuss what they have learned, where social entrepreneurship seems to be heading, and the challenges and opportunities for the future.
Anyone interested in the subject of social change can register online to create their own event or to attend events.
