Accommodation

On-site accommodation at St Catherine’s College is available at a subsidised rate when symposium registration is purchased as a residential package. The Residential package includes 2 nights accommodation for nights of September 25 and 26.

Should you wish to arrive earlier or stay later, arrangements have been made for delegates to purchase additional nights’ accommodation at St Catherine’s College, enabling ease and convenience for delegates to stay in the same place.

All rooms are single en-suites and serviced daily. Tea and coffee-making facilities, linen, towels and toiletries are provided. Hair dryers, ethernet cables and adaptors can usually be acquired from the Porter’s Lodge. Click here to view a map of the college grounds.

During the evenings, all of residential guests are invited to relax or to continue their discussions in either the Junior Common Room Lounge & Bar (open from 6.00pm) or, weather permitting, outside in the adjoining JCR Cafe Garden (Bar and Lounge open from 6.00pm).

St Catherine’s also offers residential guests an on-site gym and squash courts (access gained via the Porter’s Lodge) and a dedicated ‘email room’ is also available.

Guest rooms have wired and wireless internet access.

Please note that parking across the city is extremely limited and that parking is not generally available to guests at the College. Oxford has excellent public transport links to enable guests to travel into the city without use of a car. Detailed travel information on how to get to Oxford may be found here.
