The town council flies a number of flags from the historic County Hall museum through the year to mark a number of events and occasions. The town council has a flag policy which governs which flag is flown each day and that can be found at the bottom of this page.
The Union flag is flown all year round whenever other flags are not flown.
The Abingdon town flag is flown to mark the annual meeting in May, at which the new Mayor is elected, as well as for the Mayor’s birthday and the annual civic service.

Subject to the precedence given to the Union Flag on designated days, the following flags may be flown:
