Wolfson College
Founded just over 50 years ago, Wolfson has the freshness and vitality of Oxford youthfulness, with a legacy of egalitarianism and diversity instilled by Founding President Isaiah Berlin. As one of the university’s few postgraduate-only colleges, this energy is combined with a mature, business-like outlook. The renowned modern architecture offers highly flexible and fully accessible meeting and dining spaces for all types of events and occasions, with our new lecture theatre featuring stunning design, excellent acoustics and exemplary functionality . A wide range of culinary options are available, from banquet to buffet to barbecue, all with excellent cuisine, exquisite presentation and exceptional service.
Located in North Oxford’s leafy and affluent residential district, Wolfson’s enchanting riverside location feels like rustic English countryside, yet is only a few minutes by car or bus from the city centre, with some provision for on-site parking. In the summer months, we offer full residential conferencing and bed and breakfast, with en-suite bedrooms of a very high standard. Year-round, we offer expansive space and attentive service for day conferences and meetings, lectures and performances, weddings, dinner dances and other functions.
