This tour does not include entry to New college which costs £8 entry fee currently. However, you may ask the guide, if it’s possible to pay yourselves for the cost to enter on the day to the college and thus to enter there during the tour too. Alternatively, we finish outside New college and you can visit there after the tour.

On any dates when Divinity school is closed, we replace entry in fact with entry to New college.

This tavern pub looks really like the Three Broomsticks pub and no wonder, as this is where Hagrid and friends used to drink, when they were filming next door.
