If the College is a fine place in which to work, it is also a wonderful place in which to relax. The buildings of the main College site, as well as offering a miniature history of English architecture since the sixteenth century, form one of the prettiest environments in Oxford. The College gardens are a magnificent specimen of nature barely tamed, but a very agreeable place in which to read, sketch, put on a play, or simply chat. The College also provides more specific resources for both physical and spiritual recreation. At Corpus you will find students who belong to a variety of faiths.
Invited preachers represent a range of denominations and theological perspectives.
In addition to the main Sunday services of Holy Communion and Evensong, there is a mid-week Communion service and short prayers are said on Mondays and Fridays. It is open not only to members of College with differing musical abilities, but to those of any faith, or none at all. This large and pleasant space, equipped with a piano, is used for practice and performance of music and drama, parties and art exhibitions. There are regular recitals and concerts, many mounted by the Corpus Music Society, which has been very active in recent years. Other Music Society activities include the annual Evening of Corpus Musicians, opera trips, and occasional performances of jazz by a band that includes two Fellows of Corpus.
