Grounds and gardens

The Masters' Garden is open during daylight hours, a lovely place to walk or sit and enjoy the view. Christ Church is unique amongst the Oxford Colleges for its wonderful Meadow which is full of wildlife and is home to Christ Church's own long-horn cattle. There is a beautiful tree-lined walk down to the river Isis. Find out more about Christ Church and its history here.

From Monday 2nd August until Wednesday 4th August, we have a unique opportunity for you to join us for an evening of Shakespeare in the beautiful location of Christ Church Cathedral Garden. Immerse yourself in the dream that our students have created with this magnificent production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, complete with music, elaborate set design and costumes reminiscent of a golden era of ‘70s-fuelled hedonism.
