Originally scheduled for 27 March, the global mass public reading of Apuleius’ Metamorphoses for the 14th Festival Européen Latin Grec has been postponed until March 2021.

However, on 5 June 2020 a virtual reading took place with worldwide contributions streamed on Facebook Live; videos are still available to watch on the Festival's Facebook page. Oxford's contribution to this virtual reading was co-ordinated by Zoë Jennings, Claire Barnes, and Regine May.
