Fantasy Futures: Guardians of Oxford

Book now for this free, family-friendly, monster-themed interactive experience featuring the latest motion capture and Extended Reality (XR) technologies.

Seamlessly blending the real world and computer-generated content, Fantasy Futures takes you on a journey through Oxford – but not as you know it. The city’s gargoyles have guarded over it for centuries – now they are locked in a battle with ancient and modern enemies to protect the dreaming spires from a new threat.

Can you work together and help save the city – now, and for the future?

Step inside our customised city centre venue, where you’ll be led through a multisensory, gamified environment, guided by our real-world helpers and your virtual gargoyle friends.
