Our venue is a beautiful Grade II* listed building located in the heart of Oxford.

Our dedicated events team, with over 30 years’ experience, is on hand to offer you a professional and flexible service with attention to every detail.

We don't offer packages as we like to make it personal - working with each couple to create their special day. We have five rooms licensed for ceremonies – from small to large. These and our other spaces can be used in various combinations for your wedding reception.

We pride ourselves on presentation and service to make your day a memorable event and that is why we will only have one wedding ceremony in the venue at any one time so that you and your guests can have our undivided attention.

Whether you wish to have your ceremony, wedding breakfast, reception or any combination of these at Oxford Town Hall, our efficient and friendly staff will make you and your guests welcome.
