DIG! February Half-Term

Get ready to DIG! This February Half-Term

Prepare to dust off your brushes and grab your trowels – an exciting archaeological adventure awaits at Oxford Castle & Prison!

Make your child’s archaeological dreams a reality and become an OCP archaeologist for the day:

  • Digging for archaeological finds.
  • Creating a replica of historical objects.
  • Learning about genuine relics discovered right on the Castle grounds.
Learn with a renowned tutor

Don’t worry – your little archaeologists won’t be navigating this alone! They’ll be guided by none other than Daniel Harris, the 18th governor of the Castle & Prison, who played a key role in restoring our incredible 900-year-old crypt.

Secure your spot for DIG! This February Half-Term.
