OXFORD LIFE

Knoops Turl Street is the newest location for Knoops, a modern purveyor of hot chocolate, iced chocolate and milkshakes. Jens Knoops, a lifelong chocolate fan, opened his first café in Rye, East Sussex, in 2013 and has since expanded to Brighton, London and now Oxford. The walls of the modern monochrome interior are lined with clipboards, displaying a periodic table of over 20 chocolate types. Pick from this carefully curated library and within minutes you are presented with an expertly blended beverage. We recommend the silky smooth hot chocolate made from 72% single origin Peruvian, topped with a pillowy marshmallow. K noops at 21 Turl Street is open from 10.00am–6.00pm every day of the week. The ancient cloisters of New College are currently host to Making a Mark , the first major retrospective of sculptor Nicolas Moreton. Moreton, a master stone carver, manages to make marble look as supple as putty, chipping and polishing it into extraordinary semi-human organic forms. You might recognise the holm oak, enclosed within the cloisters as the site of Draco Malfoy’s transformation into a white ferret in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire . New College is open to the public daily from 10.30am–5.00pm unless there are private events. Admission charges are £8 for adults, £7 for under 16s and full-time students, Oxford residents free. Making a Mark in the New College cloisters

Tutankhamun: Excavating the Archive at the Weston Library To mark the centenary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, the first known royal burial from ancient Egypt to be found intact, the Bodleian is staging a major exhibition in the Weston Library. Using the archive of photographs, letters, plans, drawings and diaries presented to the University of Oxford’s Griffith Institute following the death of Howard Carter, the British archaeologist and Egyptologist who opened the tomb, the exhibition will bring to life the excitement of the excavation. “At first I could see nothing,” Carter wrote about his first glimpse inside the tomb, “the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle flame to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold – everywhere the glint of gold.” Tutankhamun: Excavating the Archive will be at the Weston Library from 13 April 2022–February 2023. The exhibition is open from 10.00am–5.00pm, Monday–Saturday, and 11.00am–4.00pm on Sundays.

Oxford’s most scenic shortcut Need to make your way from the Broad to the High? Walk under Hertford College’s Bridge of Sighs and continue along New College Lane, past Nos 6 and 7, the official residence of the Savilian Professor of Geometry since the 18th century, marked with an exquisite gilded plaque to Edmond Halley. Wind your way past the visitors’ entrance to New College and continue onto Queen’s Lane from which you can spy the pinnacles of All Soul’s College to one side and, in May, a dazzling combination of apple and lilac blossom frothing over the back wall of New College. The lane’s final stretch borders St Edmund Hall, commonly known as Teddy Hall, and its library which now occupies St Peter-in-the-East, a medieval tower church which dates from the 12th century.
