Today, the Sheldonian Theater is a Grade I listed building and welcomes visitors to Oxford as one of the most instantly recognizable buildings. Interestingly, although a "theater", dramatic acts weren't held here until 2015, nearly 350 years after construction was completed!
The theater's attraction for many is its unique look and convenient location, but there's a rich history of music and Oxford University lectures to explore, too.
Planning your trip
Your admission includes the main theater, the attic, and the cupola. Expect about 30-60 minutes, getting the most from your experience by selecting the guided option.
When you should go
The theater is a small space and shouldn't take long to enjoy, consider pairing it with the Bodleian site next door and escape the crowd a little.
What else you might need
There is an entry fee for visits to the Theater itself, ranging from $5 for the self-guided option, up to about $10 for the more engaging, guided experience.
