Oxford University Event Venues

Oxford University Event Venues brings together a collection of distinctive spaces in central Oxford for organisers planning conferences, meetings, celebrations and special occasions. The portfolio includes the Examination Schools, the Sheldonian Theatre, St Luke’s Chapel and the University Club, each offering a different setting, from grand historic surroundings to more contemporary and intimate rooms.

The venues can accommodate a varied programme of events, including conferences, talks, lectures, exhibitions, fairs, musical performances, dinners, receptions, parties and wedding receptions. At the Examination Schools, organisers can choose from a range of rooms and use the entrance hall and courtyard as additional event space. Other locations provide characterful backdrops for smaller gatherings, performances and receptions. Wedding receptions are specifically catered for, with the events team able to discuss a tailored package. The venues do not host wedding ceremonies themselves.

Organisers can discuss room layouts and venue options with a team that supports event planning and coordination. Catering is available for occasions ranging from refreshments and informal food to formal dinners, while audio-visual equipment and support can also be arranged. For conferences, the range of rooms and layouts can suit different event formats, with accommodation options available to help guests stay in Oxford. Whether you are arranging a professional gathering, a private celebration or a formal dinner, Oxford University Event Venues offers a choice of settings and practical support for bringing the event together.
