DO YOU WANT TO INFLUENCE CHANGE?
Our Programme
Here’s why we stand out:
🍊 Delegates to the Skoll World Forum use Marmalade as an opportunity to host their own events as part of a wider ecosystem.
🍊 Others from around the world, who are not delegates, come to pick up on energy generated by the Forum.
🍊 Local and national UK organisations use Marmalade as a platform to share their thinking and connect with a global audience.
The festival, which spreads across Oxford, is managed by The Old Fire Station, Oxford; all logistics from event management to catering, and comms to customer service. As an arts centre, we encourage participation, creativity and enjoyment. The issues are serious but can only be addressed in an atmosphere of optimism and joy.
Marmalade Festival is free to attend, though donations are welcome. We can’t wait to learn, connect and develop with you again in April 2025.
What is Marmalade Festival?
Each year, we at the The Old Fire Station, Oxford produce the Marmalade Festival in partnership with the Skoll World Forum.
Our aim is to help connect people from around the world with global/local, strategic/grassroots perspectives. Our focus is systems change through the lens of people, power and place.
Over the years we have welcomed thousands to explore sessions ranging from interactive workshops to film screenings, networking events to campaign launches. Themes tend to be about the big issues facing our planet: climate, social justice, big tech, colonial legacy, impact measurement, funding and power.
Marmalade has become a destination event with deep local roots and a global reputation. It is a warm space for people doing good locally, nationally and internationally to share ideas and find support and encouragement.
Once a year, we host a festival to celebrate, challenge and make plans. Will you join us?
