About Oxford Castle & Prison

Throw an unforgettable party in a 950-year-old Norman crypt, complete with epic stone pillars, a vaulted ceiling, and moody candlelight. Then check out the D-Wing of the old Georgian prison — original 1700s cells that still give off major haunted vibes.

Climb the Victorian Debtor's Tower, where the lines of the old cells divisions can still be seen on the original wooden floor. The stunning crypt has capacity for up to 50 people, or the entire historic site provides ample space for parties of up to 100 people.
