"Not your usual boring tour - a perfect blend of history and humour."

Category: Oxford

Welcome to our Oxford hub – where ancient colleges, secret passages, and centuries of questionable decision-making come together in one very clever city. Beyond the dreaming spires lies a place packed with eccentric characters, odd traditions, and stories that are far stranger (and more entertaining) than anything you’ll find in a guidebook.

Here you’ll find local events, unusual spots, and bite-sized dives into Oxford’s past and present – with a spotlight on the independents, creatives, and community projects that keep things interesting.
