As you will be aware, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many theatres, cinemas and places of entertainment are currently closed for an extended period of time.
Throughout the Arts World, there has been a huge collective effort to maintain access to the arts to all, either through online streaming of productions, operas, musicals, workshops and classes. These have been put on by venues ranging from the National Theatre and Royal Opera House in London to more local venues such as the Oxford Playhouse and Pegasus.

We have found the sheer amount and variety of performances and activities can sometimes be quite confusing and difficult to navigate. We have therefore tried to bring as many of these together on this page in order to try and make it easier to navigate.
Whilst the majority of these are free, they are only available to a limited period of time and the screening offers might change. A few of those listed below are either pay per view or subscriptions which we have indicated with a ‘£’ sign.
If you come across any arts activities that might be of interest to others, please email us on boxoffice@abingdon.org.uk so that we can add them to this page.
Stay safe and take care,
