27th January 2024 I had a really lovely afternoon with visiting friends at the vintage kilo sale today. Although we arrived late in the day, we were still lucky enough to bag a few bargains between us and were very happy with our purchases. I didn't get the chance to show off the Oxford museum but look forward to the next time. As usual the staff on the front desk were friendly, polite and helpful

Today's visit was for a vegan food market using this iconic Oxford landmark as it's base. The grand entrance and sweeping staircase leading up to the two rooms we saw in use today made me smile on arrival. Definitely worth a visit.
