56 Banbury Road
The Oxford University Careers Service at 56 Banbury Road, OX2 6PA, offers a range of recently refurbished spaces available to hire for professional events, including meetings, conferences, and interviews.
Our two main seminar rooms, the Centenary Room and the Careers Lounge, are equipped with conferencing technology, enabling seamless in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. This setup allows you to combine a live event at our venue with a virtual component, so participants can engage from anywhere. We can also rebroadcast events to other rooms within the building and livestream to audiences worldwide.
In addition to our seminar rooms, we also offer dedicated interview rooms and informal lounge areas, providing flexible options for different event formats.
Our experienced team offers bespoke event support to help you plan, coordinate, and make the most of your venue experience.
The building is located slightly north of Oxford city centre, is easily accessible by public transport, and is close to University Parks.
