Step into the shadows of history and embark on an uncomfortable ghost tour as we learn about the events that have sparked the many eerie tales of hauntings in Oxford. This tour was researched and designed by two historians who study the history of hauntings and ghost stories, and it examines how hauntings live on through oral histories and social disquiet. Our Haunted Oxford tour delves into the real stories behind the supernatural, revealing the unsettling moments from the past that sparked their telling. Throughout this walk, you will discuss the underlying social frictions that fuel ghost stories, and examine why we are so fascinated by dark histories.  This unique ghost tour examines haunting through the echoes of gender disparities, oppression, violence, social division, and the powerful grip of memory. All our tours are led by university researchers who have completed our official Uncomfortable Oxford™ training programme. Our guides combine expert knowledge and performance, ensuring each tour is a fun and educational experience. Tour recommended for teens age 12 and older.

Explore the Oxford of the Victorian age and find out what Victorian Oxford did for fun on this unique 90-minute circular walking tour visiting the sites of historic entertainment venues in the city centre.  Led by local historian Liz Woolley, this city walking tour will introduce you to a different side of Oxford’s urban history. See the 'city of dreaming spires’ from the perspective of ordinary townspeople, who found themselves with leisure time – and the money to spend on it – for the first time.  You will learn about both the rash and the rational sides of Victorian entertainment, visiting sites including the Pembroke Street Public Baths , where you could be attended by a “first-class shampooer and teacher of swimming”, and the YMCA on George Street which promised to guide young men away from the “temptations of city life”.  As part of the tour, you will see: The Town Hall and Public Library, the Wilberforce Temperance hotel (where alcohol was banned), The Jolly Farmers Pub, the New Theatre – plus more historic Oxford locations!  Join our Rash or Rational?

Pollution in the River Thames has reached unprecedented levels in recent years, leaving many communities along its banks feeling outraged, powerless, and grieving the loss of a cherished natural space. Tales Of The Thames invites you to come together in response — to share, reflect, and begin to imagine new ways forward through art and citizen science. The art portion of this workshop is led by Anya Gleizer and offers a creative space for processing ecological grief, reconnecting with the more-than-human world, and beginning conversations that matter. Through storytelling and collaborative embroidery, participants will contribute to the Tamesis Robe — a growing piece of communal textile art featuring a to-scale, 15-metre-long map of the Thames watershed. As the robe travels to communities along the river, it gathers new stories, threads, and perspectives. The event will also include a citizen science taster session in collaboration with Thames21, offering an introduction to how local residents can play an active role in monitoring and protecting Oxford’s rivers and streams. It will provide a hands-on opportunity to explore the tools and approaches used in community-led water health monitoring. This event is part of Makespace Oxfordshire’s Common Futures programme, a series of public workshops and events designed to foster connection, creativity, and collective imagining ahead of the opening of our new civic space on George Street. We will meet at The Community Works but some of the session will be spent outside. The Community Works has an accessible bathroom and level access at the rear of the building. Let us know if you will need this and we will direct you. Information Source: Makespace Oxford | eventbrite
