Shake Shack Shake Shack, the latest cult burger chain to come to Oxford, opened its doors on Cornmarket in December. Shake Shack started out as a hot dog cart in New York City’s Madison Square Park in 2001 before taking on the rest of NYC and the world. Try their incredibly moreish crinkle-cut fries, frozen custard and, of course, their legendary burgers, made from locally-sourced Aberdeen Angus beef. Shake Shack, 33-34 Cornmarket The Oxford Covered Market The Oxford Covered Market, first opened in 1774, has been rejuvenated of late, welcoming a whole host of new traders. Fans of Swedish-style cinnamon buns and sourdough will be thrilled to hear that Hamblin Bread now has a city centre branch. You can pick up groceries from OxUnBoxed, a new non-profit refill shop for organic and low-plastic shopping. The Woolhound, a wonderful repository of yarn and knitting and crochet accessories has moved into a larger unit. Pick up a freshly-baked margherita pizza from Sartorelli’s for only £6.50, a panuozzi sandwich from Il Corno or an artisanal pastry from the good folk of Proof Social Bakehouse at Tap Social. Oxford Covered Market is open from 8.00am–5.30pm, Monday–Wednesday, 8.00am–11.00pm, Thursday–Saturday and 10.00am–5.00pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Christ Church Cathedral Christ Church Cathedral is one of the smallest cathedrals in all of England, a fascinating example of Norman and Perpendicular architecture, with a history which stretches back to the 12th century. A new stained-glass window designed by John Reyntiens MBE has recently been fitted into the Latin Chapel, by St Frideswide’s shrine - the first stained glass to be added to the building for 130 years. At the heart of the new window is a depiction of St Francis, patron saint of the environment and animals. St Francis is surrounded by a joyful swirl of tropical flowers and birds – the eagle-eyed will be able to spot bees from the Christ Church beehives and ducks from Tom Quad immortalised in glass. The window is in excellent company – the exceptionally fine Becket window in the Lucy Chapel dates to 1320, the Jonah window was painted in the 1630s by the Dutch artist Abraham van Linge and the large Victorian St Michael Window, illustrates a scene from the Book of Revelation. Also in the Latin Chapel is the St Frideswide Window by pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones. Christ Church Cathedral is open for private prayer via the Tom Gate entrance and there are services held daily. You can also visit the Cathedral as a prospective student or a tourist from Monday–Saturday, 10.00am–5.00pm (last entry 4.15pm) or Sunday from 2.00–5.00pm.
