Festive cheer will be spread throughout the city this year as Oxford City Council's Christmas tree and reindeer find a new home at Rose Hill Community Centre.
This move will bring Christmas to different parts of the city, and the Council hopes it will attract more residents to visit and enjoy the installations, as well as everything the community centre has to offer.
The Christmas tree and reindeer have been an annual festive feature on Broad Street in recent years. However, due to the reconfiguration of the Oxford City Christmas Market, the City Council was unable to set them up in their usual location.
The city centre will still offer numerous festive attractions, including the Victorian Christmas Market and Oxford City Christmas Market on Broad Street, Christmas lights along the main streets, festivities and a Christmas Tree in The Covered Market and events in Westgate shopping centre.
The 35ft tree and illuminated reindeer have specific installation requirements due to their weight, width, and power needs. Oxford City Council has explored alternative locations, both in the city centre and on other council sites but has determined that the best option is to relocate them to the community centre.
You can visit the Christmas tree and reindeer at Rose Hill Community Centre now.
