Heritage Pathway: Everyday Oxford: Walking Tour & Workshop at County Hall
Wednesday 5th November 2025, 9.30am - 1pm
Clarendon Building, Oxford, OX1 3BG
Join us to explore Oxford’s ‘everyday’ heritage on a bespoke walking tour of the city followed by an interactive workshop at County Hall.
Through the case study of Oxford’s historic streets and landmarks, we will consider the role of heritage in placemaking, civic identity and social cohesion, and the role of the ‘heritage expert’ in relation to everyday heritage: whose heritage is ‘everyday’, and who gets to decide how it is identified and managed?
The session will be led by heritage specialists from Oxford Brookes University and the University of Oxford. Following the walking tour, we will introduce a variety of academic and professional training courses relevant to heritage on offer at Oxford's universities.
