Accommodation and meals

There are many places to stay in Oxford within different price bands, including a good Youth Hostel within walking distance of the city centre.

The Oxford Information Centre is a good source of information about hotels and B&Bs. 

There is no accommodation at St Anne's, but a few rooms have been booked at a nearby college. To check availability please contact the Society secretary.

Early booking for accommodation in Oxford is essential.

Saturday and Sunday lunch: An exciting addition to the Symposium this year is the delicious buffet lunch available on both days at St Anne's. We strongly encourage people to attend the lunches as it provides a wonderful opportunity to engage with other participants and the speakers. The college need to know numbers three weeks in advance. To ensure you have a place at the lunches, please make sure you book them with your registration.

Evening meals: St Anne’s College is close to the city centre and within easy reach of a number of places to eat. Advance booking is advisable at weekends.

Sponsorship donation: The pricing of Registration fees is aimed at making the Symposium affordable to a wide range of people, but it rarely covers its costs. If you are in a position to pay a bit more for your registration, and would like to, a donation will help keep down the fees and costs for students and others. Any amount would be welcome, but as a guideline we would suggest £15.
