About Jesus College/Visit us/
Conferences & Events

We welcome enquiries about hosting your conference or event here at Jesus College Oxford.

Jesus College was founded in 1571 under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, making it the only Elizabethan college within the University of Oxford. Many of the College’s buildings, including the beautiful elizabethan Dining Hall and Principal’s Lodgings, are still used for their original purpose today. We are located in the heart of historic Oxford, close to major transport hubs, shops and restaurants, and the city’s museums and parks.

The College has a wide range of meeting rooms and conference spaces for day or residential conferences, residential summer schools, special dinners, symposia or networking events. We also have facilities for group residential accommodation (subject to availability).

You can view our main College and Ship Street conference facilities, check availability and book, on the Conference Oxford website here.

For more information on booking spaces in the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub, or to discuss your specific requirements, please do get in touch by emailing us or call +44 (0)1865 279730 to chat with one of the team.
