Turl Street Week


Turl Street is a little gem off Broad Street, offering a quintessentially English selection of colleges, cafes and independent shops.

The so-called 'Turl Street Colleges', Jesus, Exeter and Lincoln line the street and host an array of traditions and events.

From Turl Street Arts Week displaying the best of music and art, to hall-swaps and the unofficial Turl Street Dash (a cycle race between Jesus and Exeter which has been banned in recent years due to its raucous nature) the colleges come together for fun and games!

Although there remains to be a long-held rivalry between Jesus and Exeter, positioned opposite each other...!
