You are welcome to visit Queen’s
Prospective students and Old Members are always welcome to visit at any time when the College is open, between 9am and 7pm.
We ask Old Members to bring their alumni card if they have one; if not, then you may be asked for proof of identity. The best way for Old Members to arrange a visit is to email the Old Members’ Office.
Members of the public can arrange access by contacting the local Blue Badge Guides. The Chapel holds a number of public services, and during term there are frequent public concerts and recitals. Additionally, the College has a digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and culture app.

✨ Poetry across time, myth, and imagination ✨
Join Old Members Sasha Dugdale and Olivia McCannon for an evening of poetry and discussion exploring their latest collections, 'The Lives of Z' and 'The Strongbox'.
📖 These works look backwards and forwards to ask what was, what is, and what might be. Drawing on myth, history, and cultural inheritance, both poets uncover stories whose influence is felt, even when unseen.
Both writers are also literary translators and they will discuss how the craft of translation guides their creative work.
🏆 Sasha Dugdale’s 'The Strongbox' (2024) has already won the Anglo-Hellenic League Runciman Award, while Olivia McCannon’s 'The Lives of Z' (2025) is being hailed as a future classic of ecopoetry.
📅 Date: Wed 13 May
🕔 Time: 5pm
📍 Location: Shulman Auditorium
Expect an evening that moves between past and future, language and image, poetry and conversation.

Reflections on residentials: opening doors to Oxford
In between terms, Queen’s is far from quiet. This spring, we welcomed pupils from Lancashire and Cumbria to live and learn in College: from our offer-holders preparing for October, to younger students experiencing a taste of university life for the first time.
Through residentials spanning the humanities and sciences, students explored Oxford through tutorials, taster sessions, and conversations with current undergraduates, all designed to build confidence and a sense of belonging.
“I feel a lot more confident in making an application for Oxford as a result of this residential.”

🎭 Following the widely acclaimed productions of 'Fiddler on the Roof' (2025) and 'Into the Woods' (2024), Eglesfield Musical Society returns this summer with the high-class entertainment of 'Guys & Dolls'.
This 'Guys and Dolls' is fast, playful, and a little bit different. The audience isn’t just watching the action; they’re right there with it – surrounded by swirling dance numbers, overheard schemes, and love stories that sneak up on you. Placed in circular seating in the Queen’s gardens, the garden becomes our Havana, our Times Square, our secret sewer hideout, and the perfect place for romance to bloom. Fast-paced and filled with unique characters, this garden production will be unlike any other theatre experience in Oxford.
Runs from 20-23rd May in the gardens at The Queen's College
