Save the date for 2024: 14 and 15 September.
A firm favourite in the Oxford calendar, we have run Oxford Open Doors since 2008. Every September we dedicate a weekend to opening places which are not usually open to the public, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the city’s rich heritage and culture for free.
For more information on participating or volunteering, contact Stephen.
The programme will be live in August 2024.

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.
