Frequently Asked Questions: Christmas Parties in Oxford

1

Oxford has one of the most recognisable identities of any UK city — does that shape its Christmas party options?

In a number of fascinating ways, it certainly does. What sets Oxford apart when it comes to venue choice is the presence of some truly historic spaces; the Crazy Bear at Stadhampton, for example, just outside of Oxford, is a boutique hotel known for parties which really go above and beyond and have acquired a devoted following far beyond Oxfordshire. Tythe Barn at Launton, close to Bicester, is a 14th-century barn decorated with ancient beams and fairy lights and award-winning catering. The university character of the city has meant that the Oxford corporate landscape has very definite tastes, and these aren't satisfied by run-of-the-mill options.
