My husband and I married here earlier this year and we were so pleased we chose it as our venue. It is a beautiful building steeped in history, and the staff who supported us with the big day were phenomenal! We cannot recommend the Town Hall enough if you are considering it for your wedding or event.

One of my favourite buildings in Oxford. It also houses a cafe which is an ideal quick stop for refreshments. Run by friendly and welcoming staff, this cafe comfortable, and pleasantly quiet
