About this activity

Hear the whole story of Oxford. From Vikings, Saxons and Normans to the modern University, the ‘Ox-ford’ has been at the centre of English history for over a thousand years.. And learn about what 800 years of dreadful Dons and sickening Students have got up to since, in the company of one of our expertly entertaining guides. If you want a long talk about different types of arches we are not for you - if you want to learn by laughing we are!
