The Christmas party is held over lunch in the Department Common Room. All staff are invited to contribute a dish of food for the buffet.

In 2017 we introduced weekly yoga classes for all staff. There are currently two Monday lunchtime sessions held in the Seminar Room. Opportunities to sign-up are circulated in the weekly news digest. Contact our yoga co-ordinator Nicola.Hall@psych.ox.ac.uk to find out more.

The summer party is usually held at a local venue with outside space to encourage staff to bring their families. It starts at 4pm and goes on all evening to suit the night owls as well as parents with young children. We welcome your input into organising this event. If you are interested contact the Social Committee.

Every first Thursday of the month, 1-1.45pm. Run by an enthusiast if not an expert, we tramp around paths and fields near the department with the aim of spotting and ideally identifying birds. Contact Ian.Straughair@psych.ox.ac.uk to find out more.
