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.

Wolfson is the first net zero Higher Education Institution in the UK, following the completion of a multi-award-winning decarbonisation project in late 2023. By transitioning to a fully electric estate, they have eliminated their Scope 1 and 2 emissions without the use of carbon offsetting. This is projected to save over 24,000 tonnes of CO2 over the next 20 years (equivalent to burning over 56,000 barrels of oil).
