Visiting the <strong>College</strong><br />

If you are an Old Member visiting Oxford you are very welcome to visit Queen’s<br />

during your stay.<br />

Enter the <strong>College</strong> via the main High Street gate and report to the Porters’ Lodge.<br />

Mention that you are an Old Member wishing to visit and say if this visit has been<br />

pre-arranged with the Old Members’ Office. <strong>The</strong> Porters will need to check your<br />

Old Member credentials, so you can either show your University of Oxford Alumni<br />

Card (‘My Oxford’ card) or answer a couple of questions so the Porters can locate<br />

you on their database.<br />

Do I need to book my visit?<br />

You do not have to pre-arrange a visit, but we do encourage it, so we can check<br />

there are no restrictions on the areas you want to see. You can bring friends or<br />

family with you, including children, but if you are a group of six or more, let us know<br />

in advance, if you can.<br />

Generally Old Members are able to walk around the cloisters, quads, gardens, and<br />

Chapel and Hall, if the spaces are not being used for other purposes. <strong>The</strong> Lodge<br />

Porters will advise on which areas are not accessible.<br />

You will need to let us know in advance if you would like to look around the Library.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Library has different visiting times to the main <strong>College</strong> – as visits can only take<br />

place when the Library is staffed – and this varies depending on whether you plan<br />

to visit during term, vacation time, or at a weekend. <strong>The</strong> Library is also sometimes<br />

closed for events. Read more about Library access on the Library’s web page.<br />

When are you open?<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>College</strong> is generally open to Old Member visitors most of the year, with the<br />

exception of the two-week closure period over the Christmas vacation and on<br />

occasions where there are large events taking place in <strong>College</strong>, such as the <strong>College</strong><br />
