New Programme of Activities Announced

Kelmscott Manor, recently re-opened after refurbishment

Our programme of activities for Spring and Summer 2022 includes coach outings, a tea party at an Oxford college, and monthly group walks centred on National Trust properties near Oxford.

We have also arranged 2 group holidays, the first in June to Grantham in Lincolnshire, and second in late November to Derbyshire, to enjoy Christmas at Chatsworth. These are described in the April Bulletin to be found on the Newsletters page.

You need to be a Member of Oxford Centre of the National Trust to receive booking forms (no booking needed to join our walks), but Members may bring a friend who is not a member if there are spaces available.

Please see our Events Calendar for full details.

Vote to welcome a wider membership

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Oxford Centre of the National Trust held on 19 October 2021, it was unanimously agreed to revise our Constitution to allow those who are not members of the National Trust to join the Oxford Centre. We are therefore very happy to welcome applications for membership from anyone interested in supporting our aim to preserve the nation’s heritage and to provide an enjoyable membership experience.
