MONDAY, JUNE 18, 2012

8:00 pm - 11:00 pm

• Reception at Oxford Castle: Canape and drinks reception in Oxford Castle's underground crypt (an ancient castle and prison). The site has been used as a place of incarceration since 1071, continuing until the closure of HM Prison in 1996. The old buildings have been preserved and are now open to the public revealing a time capsule – allowing the buildings to tell their story.
