New for 2025: Collections and Archives tours

This year we have launched two brand new tours to our programme, enabling behind-the-scenes access to our collections and archives.

Our new Treasures tours and Archives tours are the latest additions to our specialist tours programme, alongside our War Cloister tours and Garden tours. Each of these tours runs once per month, whilst our College tours run twice daily at 2.15pm and 3.30pm.

Treasures tours

Explore the treasures of Winchester College’s collections, including works of art and rare books that are not normally on public display.

Visitors will explore the College’s original museum and art gallery and part of the Fellows’ Library where there is a changing display of rare books and manuscripts, prints, and drawings.
