Opening up the doors of Oxford
One of the beauties of a city like Oxford is that you’re never too far from an iconic landmark; it only takes a short walk down the city streets to take in a potted history of English architecture. However, as beautiful as Oxford’s buildings are, many are out of reach for most of us. Once a year, however, on a very special weekend we give you the chance to explore places normally closed off to the general public. From guided walking tours to virtual events, Oxford Open Doors gives you the chance to get up close and personal with the city’s hidden treasures.
From small beginnings...
Oxford Open Doors started in 2007 as a small educational programme. Oxford Preservation Trust wanted to give all the communities that make up our very special city a chance to celebrate heritage across all walks of Oxford's life. We have been working in partnership with the University of Oxford to deliver this very special weekend for many years now.
We couldn't keep running Open Doors year after year without the support of our members! If you enjoy Oxford Open Doors, please consider joining as a member.
