👥👥👥 3,354 visitors in one weekend!
It was a pleasure to open our doors for #OxfordOpenDoors and welcome more than 3,000 people to Queen’s last Saturday.
Visitors wandered through the quads, Chapel, and Hall, and also had the rare chance to step inside the Upper Library. It was great to hear that this was a highlight of the day for many visitors. There was plenty to discover there, including Diderot and D’Alembert’s extraordinary 18th-century 'Encyclopédie', which sparked conversations about everything from the making of type to the organisation and censorship of knowledge.
🙏 Thank you to everyone who came to see us and to everyone who helped make the event possible.

🎨 Queen’s DPhil student Rafael Pérez Evans presents major solo exhibition at Mostyn.
His exhibition, 'Brown Notes', develops work from his DPhil project, 'Against Care, Towards a Crip Breakdown Materialism', and explores togetherness and defiance under the pressures of a collapsing care system. Rafael asks instead what it might mean not to clean up: to stay with the mess, and to sing together from the ruins.
'Brown Notes' runs until 3 October 2026.

📜 Hidden in plain sight for centuries
17 fragments of medieval manuscripts, recycled as covers for Guernsey’s administrative notebooks, are transforming our understanding of the island’s literary past.
Working with Guernsey’s Island Archives, Queen’s Fellow in English Professor Tamara Atkin has helped uncover what the fragments reveal about the books read and circulated in medieval Guernsey.
