All the celebrities coming to Oxford next month

The famous faces will visit the city as speakers at the Oxford Union - an exclusive debating club for students at the university.

Brian Cox, not to be confused with the scientist of the same name, is a multi-award winning Scottish actor, director and producer and star of HBO's Succession. He rose to fame for his role in Braveheart and has been involved with both the National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company.

However, the event involving The Secret Barrister will be delivered using a combination of voice actors and pre-submitted questions, in order to protect the Secret Barrister’s secret identity.

Grease star Dame Olivia Newton-John will also be involved as a speaker, albeit through an online event.
