As part of a tradition stretching back over 500 years, May morning in Oxford starts at dawn with the Hymnus Eucharisticus, followed by madrigals, sung from the top of Magdalen Tower by the Magdalen College Choir. Below thousands of people gather along the High Street, and on Magdalen Bridge to enjoy dancing, singing and revelry.

"Magdalen Tower is one of the oldest parts of Magdalen College, Oxford, situated directly in the High Street.
Built of stone from 1492, when the foundation stone was laid, its bells hung ready for use in 1505, and completed by 1509, it is an important element of the Oxford skyline. At 144 feet (44 m) high, it is among the tallest buildings in Oxford. It dominates the eastern entrance to the city, towering over Magdalen Bridge and with good views from the Botanic Garden opposite."
