Take this unique opportunity to learn about "Oxford On Screen".
Our expert and passionate guides will show you around the most famous landmarks that have been immortalised on screen, from the Radcliffe Camera (Young Sherlock) to the Bodleian Library (Harry Potter), and share the titbits and anecdotes that filming in Oxford can bring.
Tread in Inspector Morse’s footsteps around the pubs of Oxford, follow Lyra (His Dark Materials) around the colleges, and eat with the vampires (A Discovery of Witches) in the historic Covered Market. Reflect on Merton College as the setting for Alan Bennett’s “The History Boys”.
Suitable for all ages, whether you are a keen cinema fan or just intrigued by filming locations, join up with those who enjoy spotting the landmarks regularly seen on TV and film.
