In the heart of historic Woodstock is Fletcher’s House, a large 18th century house that is home to the county museum of Oxfordshire. There really is something for everyone at the Oxfordshire Museum. The Museum is bigger than you might think with galleries exploring Oxfordshire’s story from the Jurassic period through to Anglo-Saxons and Victorians. The Garden Gallery hosts an exciting and varied programme of temporary exhibitions. There are activities for everyone to enjoy throughout the year including school holiday programming and creative workshops.
Throughout the seasons, visitors can also enjoy the changing landscape of the walled garden, a tranquil escape from the town. Relax in the perfect place for a picnic and recharge your batteries. Don’t miss the Dinosaur Garden with Jurassic planting, including the rare Wollemi Pine, and life- size Megalosaurus!
Meet friends and enjoy the Garden OM Café with hot and cold drinks, freshly made light lunches, snacks and delicious bakes and cakes made on site. Browse the museum shop selling a range of gifts, toys, greeting cards and food and drink gifts. All proceeds from the Café and Shop support the museum service.
