This year’s collection is the inspiring result of an open call to the Wolfson community for original poems and images based around the theme ‘voice’. You’ll find poetry by students, staff, Fellows and alumni, with the anthology showcasing the talent of Wolfson.

The full anthology is available to read online on our website, and physical copies are available for free from the Porters’ Lodge.

Maps can be collected from the Porters’ Lodge or viewed online.

The trail is free to follow and booking is not required.

Children are most certainly welcome and will have plenty of space to explore, but please ensure they are accompanied at all times. Unfortunately, no dogs are allowed on the poetry trail.

The trail can be followed between 10am and 4pm every day, from Monday 16 March until Sunday 22 March 2026.

On-site parking is limited, and spaces cannot be guaranteed. If you are planning to drive, please allow plenty of time to find alternative parking nearby in case the College car park is full.

If you park in the College car park and do not have a Wolfson parking permit, please register your car at the Porters’ Lodge upon arrival.

The Coffee Bar is open to visitors and is located in the Club Room, just beyond the Porters’ Lodge.

Serving a range of hot and cold drinks, homemade sandwiches, snacks and refreshments, it is open Monday to Friday between 9:15am and 4:15pm, and Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 5pm.

This event will take place in our gardens, which have fully step-free access, and there is an accessible toilet located in our main building.
