About this space

The Assembly Room is a Hall in Oxford Town Hall defined by an ornate period interior centred on carved wood panelling and a large decorative fireplace.

Design: The room has high ceilings, tall arched windows that bring natural light, ornate plasterwork and rows of framed portraits that underline its formal municipal character.

Features: The room includes a built-in PA system and permits own music and external DJs. Wi‑Fi is available and the space benefits from abundant natural daylight. The timber floor functions as a dance area. The room is wheelchair accessible and has accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Organisers seeking a formal, ceremonial setting suited to seated proceedings that can transition into a standing reception in a polished, historic hall.

What sets it apart: An elevated carved gallery and decorative balcony above the dais provides a dramatic focal point and a natural position for speakers or musicians.

What guests say: The Assembly Room presents a well-maintained historic interior. The on-site staff are professional, responsive and supportive during event planning.
