The Friends of the Oxfordshire Museum, founded in 1992, are a volunteer-led charity dedicated to supporting and enhancing the Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock. Our mission is to help preserve the county’s rich heritage, inspire learning, and ensure the museum continues to thrive for future generations.
