Springboard was about more than just superb music.

The festival spilled out of the Jacqueline Du Pré Music Building onto the beautiful riverside grounds of St Hilda's college......

Festivalgoers could lounge on the lawns and enjoy the free supply of papers.

There was also an art exhibition. Liz Salter presented her collection of paintings and drawings of young musicians.

There was delicious food and a G&D's icecream stand (Oxford's homemade ice cream cafes).

Musical treats and gifts could be bought from Blackwell's stall.

There were demonstrations by some of the music industry's top professionals. Jeffrey Shackle opened up the world of a world class piano tuner.
Oxford Violins will explained the craftsmanship of violin makers and repairers.

And what would an Oxford festival be without lawn games?!
