A special new MOX Walk launching in honour of LGBT+ History Month!
How was Oxford in the 17th century for the LGBTQIA+ community? Which college is the queerest? Where is the oldest LGBTQIA+ pub in the country?
Find out the answers to these questions – and much more – on this 90-minute guided tour, uncovering stories from the LGBTQIA+ community throughout the history of Oxford.
Led by city guide Hannah Field, you will meet a host of fascinating characters including a “lesbian, Indian princess, suffragette, refugee smuggler”, a flamboyant bus conductor, a Catholic Saint, and many more. Learn about local characters, pubs and clubs of Oxford, University societies, Oxford Pride and future events.
A unique opportunity to explore an alternative side of Oxford and current local history research.
