Lady Margaret Hall
Lady Margaret Hall has been open to new ideas since it was founded in 1878 to admit the first female students to the University of Oxford. Our fresh approach, distinctive buildings and spacious, natural landscape make LMH the perfect setting for memorable events that engage and inspire your guests.
The college is available for meetings, conferences, seminars and functions. We can provide dining for small groups or up to 275 people in our splendid wood-panelled dining hall. Outside term time we can host residential conferences for up to 180 guests in en suite rooms.
The rooms at LMH range from grand function rooms to more intimate spaces perfect for encouraging open dialogue and creative thinking. Sometimes it is good to get away from it all. LMH offers a quiet and peaceful place for guests to relax and enjoy themselves. Visitors can explore our pretty gardens or saunter down to the river and try their hand at punting. Croquet and tennis are also available. In summer months we offer al fresco dining with BBQs and picnics, and afterwards guests can finish their evening on the garden terrace outside the College Bar.
This venue offers facilities for hybrid/virtual meetings.
