Oxford Open Doors
Oxford Open Doors
Our tours and science fair are always very popular, and we have many repeat volunteers as well as visitors. If you'd like to volunteer, please email us: we provide training and support, and we've got a ready-made suite of activities that we bring to the science fair. If you have an idea for a new activitiy for the science fair, please do also get in touch! Every year, the Oxford Preservation Trust and Oxford University organize Oxford Open Doors, allowing the public a glimpse behind the the closed doors of many of Oxford's building. Each year, the Nuffield Department of Medicine participates by putting together a family-friendly science fair and organizes tours of some of its cutting-edge laboratories.
