About Oxford Castle & Prison

Oxford Castle & Prison opened on 2 June 2006 and gives visitors the opportunity to learn about the real people who lived and died throughout the site’s 1000-year-old turbulent past. The site has been used as a place of incarceration since 1071, continuing until the closure of HM Prison Oxford 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.

The guardians of this important historic site, The Oxford Preservation Trust were awarded a £3.8 million grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore the castle and site buildings. The post of Learning and Access Officer for Oxford Castle & Prison is funded by Oxfordshire County Council.

Oxford Castle & Prison is operated by Continuum Attractions.
