Take a journey back in time to find the diverse narratives often hidden beneath the cobblestones. Discover the stories of those who are often left out of the city landscape: Women, people of colour, and LQBTQIA individuals. This guided journey around Oxford will go back in time to highlight the many ways women have historically experienced the urban space and family life, uncover how masculinities have shaped and been shaped by the university, and discuss queer experiences in the city. Together we will analyse the urban landscape and material culture, discuss gendered geographies, and push back on social expectations. This tour lasts for about 1.5hrs. We will walk no more than two miles, but please be aware that cobble stones and uneven pavement may restrict the accessibility of this event.

Wonderfully crafted approach to showing and explaining the "other" side of Oxford's role in UK's modern history. Engaging format where guides ask opinions and ideas of participants. Thoughtful, provocative and engaging. One of the best tours I have ever taken.

I did the hidden histories, colonial, and original tours. All were exceptional. I learned a lot, loved how interactive it was, and found my guides really friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend these tours!!
