About Bodleian Library
Working at the Bodleian, you quickly realize you're not just managing events - you're helping people become part of Oxford's story. These walls have seen more history than most museums, and now they're the backdrop for your celebration. Mad to think about, really. The Divinity School gets everyone. Those fan-vaulted ceilings? Pure showing off by medieval stonemasons, and we love them for it. Convocation House brings the drama with its wood paneling and galleries, while Chancellor's Court offers something more intimate but no less impressive. All licensed for ceremonies, all guaranteed to leave your guests speechless. We're right in Oxford's heart - barely a kilometer from the station, surrounded by spires and cobblestones. Yet once you're inside our courtyards, it's just you and your guests in your own historic bubble. Evening receptions here hit different when the stone glows in the sunset and fairy lights come on. The practicalities? All sorted. Full accessibility, approved caterers who know how to work in historic spaces, and an events team who've seen it all. We can handle live bands echoing off ancient walls or DJs spinning in spaces where scholars once debated. Every event becomes part of the Bodleian's continuing story. Fair warning: once people see your photos, they'll all want to copy you. But there's only one Bodleian, and only one chance to make your celebration genuinely legendary. Let's chat about how to make these centuries-old spaces work for your very modern party.
