The exterior is amazing and the interior is stunning from those lucky enough to see it. However, you have to be extremely fortunate to arrange your visit with an opening. The openings are irregular and are not released until months if not weeks ahead of your visit. I really wanted to see this during our December visit but they did not release the few December openings until December 2 and we only had one day to visit. It was open the day after our visit. Anyways, the building is impressive and highlights that perfect stone symmetry you associated with English public buildings. It is the second work of Sir Christopher Wren and the second most associated work with him after St Paul's Cathedral in London. The day we saw the snow perfectly dusted the stone bust that surround the curved rear of the property. Again, I wish I could have gone inside.

Having visited Oxford on many occasions, we had never looked in on the Sheldonian Theatre. This trip, we corrected that and we’re very pleased to have done so. Still utilised for ceremonial occasions by the university, it oozes history . Designed by the astronomer Sir Christopher Wren ( yes that’s correct) .If you are able to climb the stairs to the top, you will be treated to 360 degree views of the Oxford spires from their midst. We’ll worth the effort.

Great effort but not perfect. 3 singers good Band good but drums too loud Seats not comfortable - sore behinds after a while. Venue impressive Sound mixer not great. Couldn’t here strings or guitar very well , drums and brass too loud. Band cut off singers talking Not really by candlelight as there were spotlights and any candles were battery operated A view to a kill not good. Harmonies were wrong and could here guitar very well at beginning
