On Saturday 13 September, in collaboration with the Oxford Preservation Trust, Univ will be taking part in Oxford Open Doors, an annual weekend event which invites members of the public to explore many of Oxford’s historic and iconic buildings.

From 10am until 4pm, the oldest college in Oxford will open its gates and offer visitors the opportunity to visit its two striking quads, well-maintained gardens and selected buildings, including the Shelley Memorial, the Hall and the Chapel, with its famed Abraham van Linge windows.

Cream teas will be available in the Hall as well as activities for children, including a scavenger hunt and craft table.

You can  find out more about the College’s history, buildings and gardens before your visit and explore our archives spanning eight centuries which includes several online collections.

Full details of the weekend’s activities across all Open Doors venues can be found here.

Entry to Univ is free throughout the day and you can find out more in our downloadable Open Doors Visitors’ Guide. The accessible entrance to the college is via Logic Lane, not the main entrance on the High Street. Please ask at the High Street entrance if you wish to gain access via Logic Lane.

We look forward to meeting you all at Oxford Open Doors on Saturday 13 September.

Please note: Photography and filming for website, social media and marketing use may be taking place at Univ during Oxford Open Doors. If you would prefer not to be photographed / filmed, please speak to a member of staff on the day.
