Please note:

The Colleges of the University of Oxford have different opening hours. The information given here is intended for guidance only. Opening hours are subject to functions, examinations, conferences, holidays, etc. Admission charges are subject to review.

We recommend that you check opening times and admission charges with the place you wish to visit. Groups should book in advance and all visitors to colleges must report to the Lodge on arrival.

The University is a working institution and our colleges, in particular, are places of residence, work and study. You are therefore asked not to enter staircases, college rooms and areas marked as private.
