Oxford Filming

Posted on by heidi

It was great to be in Oxford just before Christmas and see the Warner Bros. film unit in Radcliffe Square. They were filming for a new movie starting Timothée Chalamet and Oliva Coleman. This movie is Wonka, due to be released on 2023 and tells the story of a young Willy Wonka of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. We are excited for this movie! They are due to return to Oxford for more filming over the coming weeks.

Here is Heidi, owner and guide of Walking Tours of Oxford, talking some more about filming in Oxford for BBC Oxford.

In July 2021, we also saw filming on Radcliffe Square for a new Steven Spielberg / Tom Hanks Production called Master of the Air

These tours are 1-hour in length and will show you the very best of Oxford in 60 minutes with your qualified guide. A private tour such as this allows for interaction and for questions to be asked. We can tailor the tour to any requests that you may have – want a bit of wizardly magic and Harry Potter then – Abracadabra! A family tour to include the children – consider it done or perhaps you are a couple looking to explore the history of Oxford – that is no problem! Teenager children thinking of applying to Oxford and want a tour to help – look no further! Or perhaps murder? A Morse / Lewis and Endeavour tour would be perfect!

Cost is £75 – so with a group of 5 that is just £15 per person which is excellent value. Don’t take our word for it, you can check out the hundreds of on-line reviews which make us the number 1 rated tour company in Oxford both for TripAdvisor and Feefo.

This special offer is only available direct and for a limited time.

“Walking Tours of Oxford is excellent and very much recommended. Heidi, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic but also orientated the tour to her audience so in our case, we are a family of four, with two boys aged 13 and 15. It was the perfect way to familiarise ourselves with the city and point out details that we would have not noticed or understood the significance. We really enjoyed the tour and the two hours passed so quickly. Thank you, Heidi, – a really great experience and introduction to Oxford!”

“This was a great walking tour. Our guide, Heidi, was so knowledgeable & told stories in a charismatic way that made you feel you were living them. This really helped us get to know the history of Oxford & it’s famous University & colleges, well worth doing. Thank you, Heidi”
