Ditchley Summer Lecture by John Cairns 29 6 24 78

Our Local Community

Although the challenges we face are global, Ditchley is also deeply rooted within its local Oxfordshire community.

Located north of Woodstock and adjacent to the village of Charlbury, many of our staff and their families live either on the Ditchley Park Estate or locally.

When not in use by the Foundation, a number of local charities and organisations can use the house and its grounds for their own events, and we also provide guided group tours of the house.

We have also, in conjunction with the Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, brought together groups of leaders at Ditchley to discuss opportunities for Oxford and Oxfordshire.

Our Home at Ditchley Park

Ditchley Park is part of the world’s heritage and remains as central to our way of working now as it has ever been.

Ditchley Community

Our primary route to impact is through people, with an evolving community some thousands strong across different centres of modern power and in many countries. We continually bring in new people, perspectives, and expertise from all backgrounds.
