Stow Gypsy Fair – by Philip & Pete &Habip

Each year, the historic market town of Stow-on-the-Wold becomes the vibrant heart of a centuries-old tradition: the Gypsy Horse Fair. Held twice annually, this unique gathering draws members of the Romani and Traveller communities, horse traders, and curious visitors from across the UK. In this collaborative photo series, Peter, Philip, and Habip offer distinct yet complementary perspectives on the fair. Their images capture not only the striking visuals of horses, wagons, and trade, but also the spirit of connection, resilience, and identity that define this cultural event. Together, these photographs serve as a vivid document of a living tradition at the crossroads of heritage and change.

May Day 2025

Every year on May 1st, a traditional ceremony called May Morning takes place in Oxford. The event begins at exactly 6:00 AM with the Magdalen College Choir singing a Latin hymn called Hymnus Eucharisticus from the tower of Magdalen College. This tradition dates back to the 16th century. After the hymn, thousands of people gather around High Street, Magdalen Bridge, and nearby areas. The city then comes alive with music, folk dancing (especially Morris dancing), and various performances throughout the day. May Morning is an important social event that celebrates both the arrival of spring and the academic year, blending the cultures of the university and the local community.
