Which means evening prayer spoken or sung. It begins at 6pm and goes for about 49 minutes & is just beautiful! The boys & men's choir sang & the acoustics are amazing, as this place is just magnificent built in 1525, and is largest of the schools in Oxford. Harry Potter movie fans will enjoy & recognize their Great Hall... More

Such a lovely place. Unfortunately, didn't have enough time to go inside. Entry appeared to be about £8/person, so would have wanted to spend time having a good look, but was on last day of trip! Grounds were beautiful. Probably best to do the walking tour to get full info on the place.

The dining room has to be a must, for those curious about Oxford student life, Harry Potter or famous Brits . It can be a bit of a scrum waiting to get into the dining room and when taking pictures, people do get impatient if you take too long. The college grounds are beautiful but you only get to see...

From start to finish there is something to interest most people. The architecture is beautiful and if you have watched Morse/Lewis/Endeavour then you can put a 'face to a name' so as to speak!

... and that's not even the only thing you can see. This is a must a see college. And don't forget to take a stroll along the Christ Church's Meadows after you visit the college. The meadow stretches all the way to the river and it's an excellent walk.

It's a lovely place.... that's where parts of Harry Potter movies were being filmed. It's really huge place. But definitely a place that must see if not just to capture what it's like had we been in Harry Potter's movie.

I've enjoyed mainly the active dining room where Harry Potter movies were filmed in. It is in use by students and it is very interesting to see. It is not open all day since the students use it. It is open in the morning for an hour and beginning 14:30. In addition, one can see the college church and some... More
