A yellow and green graphic showing the spires of Oxford rendered as root vegetables, and an outline of a farmer holding a pitchfork over a bowl of pasta. The text reads: 'Oxford Digs In: our food stories'.

Bring your food-related object or personal story, to be recorded by the museum volunteers for inclusion in our current exhibition, Oxford Digs In.

Have you had an allotment for a long time? Do you remember making preserves with an older relative? Come and share your story with us! We will collect your stories and you can choose to have them featured in our exhibition, Oxford Digs In. You can bring an object, photograph or document of significance and have it photographed, or simply tell your story and have it recorded by one of our volunteers.

It's a drop-in session - come in any time and stay for as long as you'd like (allow up to an hour for your story to be recorded). You'll be greeted by a friendly volunteer who will talk you through the process. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be served, and there will be plenty of opportunity to talk to others.

In partnership with the Streets of Plenty project.
