We're delighted to be opening our doors for Oxford Preservation Trust's annual Open Doors weekend on 9th and 10th September 2023. We'll be open to all across both days from 9am - 5pm with plenty of activities to enjoy. Throughout the day, you'll be able to follow a self-guided trail and pick up one of our new family tour sheets specially designed for our younger visitors. We'll also be offering afternoon teas to take away and enjoy in the tranquil gardens.

The College is deeply saddened to learn of the death of its Honorary Fellow, The Rt Hon The Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Heywood (1937-2023). Simon Brown came up to Worcester to read history before switching to law. He was called to the Bar in 1961 and became a High Court Judge in 1984. Having been appointed a Law Lord, he became one of the inaugural Justices of the Supreme Court when that body was founded in 2009. He was inducted as an Honorary Fellow at Worcester in 1993.
