Entertainment & Activities
A wonderful afternoons entertainment. Take a picnic and a bottle of wine. spend an hour or 2 on the river, mastering punting: steering and propelling yourself, on a flat bottomed boat, along the river. Or just let yourself drift, with a boater hat and a good book in the sunshine.

6.00pm Choral Evensong (in term times). An interesting experience even if not religious.

Evensong at Magdalen uses the traditional language of the 1662 Prayer Book and it offers the opportunity to hear a great variety of musical settings of the canticles (Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis), along with a wide range of anthems and psalm chants. This service typically lasts around 40 minutes,
