At TASO we have a wide range of guided trips planned in 2025-2026, including local walks in Oxford, visits further afield, and a residential tour. We will add to the calendar below as visits are scheduled and details confirmed.<\/p>\n

If you would like more information, do email us at tasovisits@gmail.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are also always happy to receive your ideas and suggestions for future walks, visits and trips.<\/p>\n

Please be aware that Visits Team events work differently to lectures. They are almost always ticketed, there are limited places and there is usually high demand. For these reasons, each event is initially opened only to members, then offered to those on the event’s waiting list if there are still places, and only if places remain after that are they offered to non-members.\u00a0 When tickets for a visit go on sale, you can book yours by pressing on “click here” in that visit’s entry in the calendar or detailed information below.<\/p>\n
