Bursting with 19th century character, boasting exceptional in-house caterers and home to spaces large and small, this grand events venue is able to support every type of function under its Victorian roof.

The Main Hall is its largest and most spectacular space, with a beautiful domed ceilings, balconies and stage area lending itself well to conferences, concerts or balls.

For smaller events such as meetings and training sessions, St Aldgate’s Room boasts a fine backdrop for a day of brain-storming and decision-making. Seat 22 people board-room style, or 30 for dinner, in the stunning space, which features stained glass windows and wood-panelled walls.

Should you like to include food and drink at your event, Oxford Town Hall works with caterers Elegant Cuisine to deliver exceptional catering with sustainability and quality at its heart.

Testimonials For Oxford Town Hall

Crankstart BallFEBRUARY, 2024

Everything was perfect thanks! The security team were great, and we only had a couple of minor hiccups. We had the okay last night from Brad to leave the keyboard and drum kit backstage as one of our bands is also performing at an event on the weekend. Thank you for a great event!
