Happy International Zebra Day from your favourite “holy zebra style” college! What was intended as an architectural insult in 1870 is something we wouldn't want any other way 🦓

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #cold, here's Keble College Oxford, seen from University Parks after heavy snowfall. #EastCoastKin

Brightening up what has been a rather grey January, the first snowdrops have been spotted in our flowerbeds 🌱

September 22nd marks the autumnal equinox and our Butterfield brickwork is never more beautiful than in this season 🍂

If you’ve visited us this summer, you'll have seen we've been restoring some of our stained glass windows, but this isn’t the first time the chapel has needed a bit of TLC! These older photos were taken in 1962 and 1975, showing repairs being done to the roof and the outer wall 🧱

We are thrilled to have been awarded a University Green Impact Gold Award in recognition of the great sustainability work happening across Keble, improving on last year’s Silver! Thank you to our College community for all of their efforts to become more environmentally friendly 💚

Over the last two days, we welcomed hundreds of prospective students during our July Open Days for Keble tours, talks and ice cream 🍦 Thank you to our staff and student ambassadors for all of their help! Missed us this time? We’ll be back for another #OxOpenDay on September 19th 🗓️

At graduation, our students can take a piece of Keble with them. Fortunately, these bricks are made of foam. The real ones are staying put! By getting their brick, graduates also support current students and the future of Keble through the Talbot Fund 🧱 #KebleCollege #OxfordUniversity #DegreeDay

On Saturday, we welcomed back over 100 Keble graduands to celebrate their Degree Day with friends and family. Congratulations to all on this big achievement! We look forward to having you in our alumni community 🥳
