Oxford’s May Morning is a big event for locals, 5,000 people gather on and around Magdalen Bridge to celebrate the traditional spring festival.

Each year Hymnus Eucharisticus is sung by 16 college choristers from the top of Magdalen College tower.

The hymn was composed in the 17th Century by a fellow of Magdalen and has been sung every year as the sun rises on the first morning of May.

Bells then ring out over the city for about 20 minutes.

This beautiful and timeless event is very special and would make a wonderful addition to a visit to Oxford.
