Murders make money for Museum

Something to see here - Thame tours are a must for fans of Midsomer Murders

At the end of 2025 Thame Midsomer Tours made their largest charitable donation since the tours began, with £1,500 gifted to the Thame Mayor’s Charities and £1500 to Thame Museum, also a registered charity. The image shows Tony Long, tour coordinator (second from right) handing a cheque to Phil Williams, chair of Thame Museum (third from right) accompanied by some of the tour guides. A similar donation was previously made by Thame Midsomer Tours at the end of 2024.

Thousands of Midsomer fans and tourists from around the world have now taken a Midsomer Walking Tour since they began eight years ago. Including this year’s donation of £3,000, the popular tours have now produced more than £16,000 of charitable donations.

Thame is one of Midsomer Murders' most-filmed locations, sometimes appearing as Causton, sometimes as one of the many picturesque villages in Midsomer County (aka Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire). The tour covers the 23 Midsomer filming locations in Thame.

Midsomer Guided Walking Tours of Thame will re-start on Wednesday 1st April and then take place every Wednesday until 28th October 2026. There will also be tours every Saturday from 6th June until 26th September. The tours last around 90 minutes and start at 2pm from outside Thame Town Hall. For more information visit:
