Oxford Open Doors 2023
With clear blue skies overhead, the OPT team and our wonderful volunteers were out and about all weekend providing a warm welcome to our 25,000 visitors. Gardens and shade were the popular go-to, whether the splendid gardens at Worcester College or the relative cool of the ancient cloisters at All Souls complete with music provided by the Vox Chamber Choir and The Bodleian’s A-Z of twenty-six events was brilliant, and all alongside our own tours of the Painted Room, the LMS Railway Swing Bridge, and the Castle where ice cream, music, and some expert stone-carving could be enjoyed.
