'Under the Blanket of Spring' | An exhibition of artworks by LMH Fine Art students 🎨

LMH’s Chapel has been reimagined as an exhibition space for this year’s annual Fine Art show, as six second-year students present work inspired by the season and the college’s gardens. From painting and sculpture to installation and performance, the exhibition moves through the Chapel in a way that reflects both the theme and the energy of the cohort behind it.

The exhibition opened on Saturday in the Fellows’ Garden, where students Hattie Hone and Sky Lily Ellis created a parachute piece as part of an opening event that also featured a folkloric performance. It will conclude on Thursday 21 May.

Yesterday’s Classics and Ancient History Taster Day marked the end of our five-part 2026 Taster Day series, giving Year 12 students a taste of what it’s like to study a range of subjects at the University of Oxford.

The free events included lectures and hands-on workshops designed and delivered by LMH’s subject tutors, along with tours of the college by current undergraduate students and lunch in our Dining Hall.

Thanks to all who took part and made the events such a success!

Celebrating our legal community at the LMH Law Dinner ⚖️
