Visiting Us
Brasenose College
We welcome visitors; from prospective students and alumni to members of the public.
Information for prospective students
You’re welcome to visit between 9am and 5pm. Just report to the Lodge at the main gate off Radcliffe Square (there’s no entrance charge).

Tourists and tour groups
Guided tours are welcome, both from registered travel companies and members of the public. Tours can visit the Old Quad, Hall, Deer Park, and Chapel.
Opening times:
Monday–Friday: 10:00–11:30 and 14:00–16:30

Tours must be booked through registered companies up to seven days in advance (depending on College events). Each group can include up to 20 visitors plus a guide, and only one group is permitted on site at a time. Individual tourists may be admitted at the porter’s discretion with a small donation to the College.

Please report to the Lodge at the main gate, where you’ll receive a map and visitor information. The College may close at any time due to unforeseen circumstances.
Alumni
You’re always welcome back to College. Visiting hours are 9am–5pm (summer) and 9am–4:30pm (winter). If you can, let the Development Office know in advance: development.office@bnc.ox.ac.uk / 01865 287275. We’ll inform the Lodge of your visit.
If you arrive without notice, just identify yourself at the Lodge with your alumni card. If you don’t have one, you may be asked a few questions to confirm your affiliation. Access to the Hall may be restricted during lunch (12–2pm), and the Library is by appointment only. For small group visits, please contact us in advance.
