‘Once upon a time’ is how all good stories begin, and has Oxford got some stories for you. Join the Bodleian Libraries guides as they explore the winding streets of the city of dreaming spires. You will be introduced to tales of fun and of fantasy, stories of magic and of mayhem, and the unexpected and extraordinary journeys of children just like you. A whole world of adventure awaits with some of your favourite characters and perhaps you’ll meet some new ones too.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your tour start time. Meeting point is the Weston Library steps.
