St Hilda’s College
Founded in 1893 by Dorothea Beale St Hilda’s College was initially a women’s only college but become a mixed college in 2008. Dorothea Beale was known as a key force in actively investing in women’s education and indeed the College was named after St Hilda who was known as a great educationalist
Encouraging diversity, equality, fairness and tranquility these tenants are reflected in the ambience and feel of the spaces throughout the College and indeed through it’s picturesque gardens and lawns sweeping down to the River Cherwell. We also offer a great view of the Oxford spires from our Rooftop!
We offer a solutions-based approach for a myriad of event and conference requirements. From corporate and academic conferences to small meetings and workshops we have a variety of spaces which can be curated to specific client requirements.
Formal dinners, buffet style options for less formal gatherings and indeed canape receptions are all facilitated by our in-house catering team. We offer a variety of accommodation options outside of term time. For a more informal event our grounds lend themselves to summer parties and BBQ’s and there is always the option of embracing Oxford’s long-held tradition by hiring our punts in the summer!
If you are needing a meeting space in the heart of the city for smaller guest numbers please do take a look at 38 St Giles where we offer our same exacting standards on a day delegate rate.
