Divinity School at The Bodleian Library
About this space
The late-Gothic Divinity School is the largest and oldest room in the Old Bodleian. With its elaborate stone-carved ceiling in the Perpendicular style, warm stone floor and arched windows that let in a wealth of sunlight, it’s bursting with romance and elegance.
A special treat for all Potterheads: the Divinity School was featured in the first two Harry Potter films!
This stunning interior seats up to 120 guests for a fabulous reception and offers enough room to dance the night away. The Wren door that faces the Sheldonian Theatre creates a beautiful frame for photos of newlyweds and their loved ones.
