Welcome to Lady Margaret Hall

With the Oxford Open Doors theme this year being 'Everyday Histories: Exploring daily working life through the ages’, we’ve pulled out of the archives a few interesting articles.  

Our Library is open today and features an exhibition on “Myth, Magic and Fantasy”.

We also hope you find time to enjoy a walk around our gardens to connect with nature. Biodiversity Tour guides are available here, or you can borrow one from the Lodge.

You can download a map of the College via the link below.

We hope you enjoy your visit!
