The 22nd annual Oxford Peace and Friendship Walk of Faiths is due to return this June.
Taking place from 6pm to 8pm on Thursday, June 11, the event invites people from all backgrounds to join in a journey of unity, reflection, and shared purpose.
Beginning at the Oxford Jewish Centre on Richmond Road, the walk will travel through the city with stops at St Giles Church and Radcliffe Square, before ending at Stanley Road Madina Mosque.
Organisers say the event is a celebration of the 'ongoing good relationships between Oxford’s many faith communities'.

At each stop, attendees will hear reflections from representatives of different faiths.
The walk typically draws between 200 and 300 participants, who carry multicoloured balloons to symbolise the city’s diversity.
Light refreshments will be offered outside the University Church, with a free vegetarian meal at the mosque marking the event’s conclusion.
The meal will be a collective effort, with the main course provided by the Muslim community and desserts by the Jewish community.
The walk is supported by the Oxford Council of Faiths and other organisations, including Churches Together in Central Oxford, the Oxford Jewish Congregation, the Oxford Islamic Community, the Oxford Hindu Temple and Community Centre, the Asian Cultural Centre, Royal Cars Ltd, and Minuteman Press.
Oxford Council of Faiths describes the event as 'an important event in the life of the city, cementing ties between faith communities'.
