Festival-themed walk

Tickets £12

St Barnabas Church and the Oxford Canal Boatyard

A waterside walk to uncover the intimate relationship between Oxford’s ‘magnificent’ Castle Gaol and its 18th-century canal. A subterranean stream; some extraordinary Victorian railway engineering; Oxford’s residential narrowboats; and an innovative floating chapel will all feature. There are some steps. Mark lived on a residential narrowboat on the Oxford Canal for nearly three decades.

Unfortunately this event is not wheelchair accessible as there are steps on the route.

Meeting point: Upper Fisher Row at the junction with Hythe Bridge Street.


*A fee of £1.50 per transaction applies to bookings for this event, with exemptions for Oxford Playhouse members.
