Reviews of Oxford Town Hall
J. D.Should be a 5 star venue but it barely deserved 4 star rating. The Victorian splendour of this building has somewhat faded leaving it tired and jaded. Money needs to be spent on the building and a deep clean is also called for. Main course of the meal we had was badly over cooked.
A. B.Part of Oxford history, within the hall there's a little museum to visit, a lovely café on the ground floor, lot of events to keep eyes on during the year taking place in Oxford City Hall.
M. J.Amazing place it is packed with history and amazing architecture
Z. M.Absolutely magical. We had traditional ceilidh dance lessons. A must see.
M. D.Nice venue for formal events; especially the CAMRA ale and cider festival!
J. M.The open days are amazing, the place just oozes history. If you're lucky enough to see the crypt that is not always open to the public and upstairs the function rooms and the old court.
D. L.Reviewed in the context of visiting for a concert the Oxford Town Hall is a good venue. The high vaulted ceilings allowed the Orchestra’s music to reverberate nice round the hall. The Hall itself is a lovely old building full of big spaces. Seating wasn’t too packed in, so it didn’t feel too busy, maybe 500 people in total. The bar was a little understaffed at the interval which put some people off buying drinks.
Overall easy to find, easy to get to and a no fuss venue. Just remember Oxford isn’t car friendly so get the train or park at the Westgate shopping centre. Both a 5 minute walk away.
T. A. -. F. L.The beautiful Oxford Town Hall is a public building in St Aldate's Street and being used for weddings, conferences, meetings, concerts, festivals, social events and exhibitions. This Jacobethan building was opened in May 1897, replacing the demolished 1752 one in 1893.
A. P.Beautiful old building in Central Oxford
A. O.Brilliant venue for a wedding. Very good facilities and helpful staff
J. R.Stunning building and venue in the heart of Oxford. Went for a taster menu and charity event and the setting was beautiful.
M. P.Great venue !
H. D.Very good place, I agree to visit it
A. J.Incredible looking building, the event space is very large.
Reception staff are always welcoming, event staff always have the room laid out the way we like it when we turn up the night before. It's clean, bright and looks great.
Location is brilliant. super central which is key for our events. Parking is the only issue, the ice rink or shopping centre is the nearest car parks so a 10 minutes walk but nothing you can do about it.
We look forward to running our events once again at the Town Hall.
J. M.Beer festival was awesome, beautiful building. Look at the pictures and the high ceilings
L. M.Great, beautiful wedding venue. Felt very comfortable and at ease in spite of covid restrictions. Sue was always lovely and helpful while we were organising everything.
R. I. (.Oxford's guildhall was created by substantially repairing or rebuilding a house on the current site in about 1292. It was replaced by a new building, designed by Isaac Ware in the Italianate style in 1752. In 1891, an architectural design competition was held for a new building on the same site. The local architect Henry Hare won with a Jacobethan design. The 1752 building was demolished in 1893. Hare's new building included new premises for Oxford's Crown and County Courts, central public library and police station as well as the city council. The Prince of Wales opened the new building in May 1897, about a month before the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
University of Oxford undergraduates were expected to mount a large demonstration for the opening, so a detachment of the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch was deployed to reinforce the small Oxford City Police force. The Metropolitan officers were unused to Oxford undergraduates, and considered the boisterous crowd a danger. The officers attacked the crowd with batons, causing several serious injuries. The crowd reciprocated, unhorsing one officer and trampling him. A young law don, FE Smith, who had taken no part in the violence, saw police mishandling his college servant. Smith went to rescue his servant but was arrested. He became the first prisoner in one of the cells of the new police station in the new Town Hall. Smith was charged with obstructing police officers in the execution of their duty, but at his trial the young lawyer was found not guilty.
The police station was at the rear in Blue Boar Street. It was completed later than the rest of the building, but the Oxford City Police force was able to move there from its former station in Kemp Hall by the turn of the century. The City Council was accused of greatly exceeding the budget it set for the building project. In 1905 Henry Taunt published a leaflet in which he stated that the building was meant to cost £47,000 but ended up costing £100,000.
In the First World War the building was converted into the Town Hall section of the 3rd Southern General Hospital. From 1916 it specialised in treating soldiers suffering from malaria.
Oxford City Police moved to a new police station further down St Aldate's in 1936 and the central public library moved to new facilities at Westgate Centre in Queen Street which were completed in 1972.
The town hall was the headquarters of the county borough for much of the 20th century and remained the seat of government after Oxford City Council was formed in 1974.
S. C.Visited to see a performance of Oxford Orpheus - was an amazing evening. Thank you all.
G. D.Beautiful building, both from the outside and inside. We had our wedding here and the staff was amazing. They were always happy to help and on the day of the wedding everything went smoothly.
K. S.Lovely place for gigs, also used for lots of fairs and events like the Oxford Beer Festival. Can get a bit crowded and loos are a bit of a walk, but tries to be accessible as far as possible.
C. A.Mom review: they have excellent toilets, a baby changing room. I recommend it. And access to the building is great.The only down side is it isn't opened on weekends...
B. C.Great place, visited the Museum, really good displaying the history of Oxford
