Bodleian Libraries Events

In addition to The Divinity School and Blackwell Hall, we have a variety of other beautiful and interesting event spaces for lectures, seminars, ceremonies and drinks receptions.  

The home of learning

Weston Lecture Theatre

The Weston Lecture Theatre is well-lit, modern and sleek in design, allowing your content to take centre-stage. There are comfortable tiered seats, soft-fold tables with power sockets, and the room is equipped with a built-in PA system with microphones, including lectern and table-based panel mics, and a large screen.

The potential is endless

Weston Rooftop Terrace

On the top floor of the Weston Library, the Roof Terrace provides a spectacular setting for drinks receptions. The terrace is a space with unique views over Oxford’s historic rooftops and the hills beyond, and is truly set in the heart of the ‘dreaming spires’. 

Surrounded by history

Convocation House

Convocation House was added onto the Divinity School in 1637 to provide a distinguished meeting place for the University’s supreme governing body. With wooden tiered seating around all four sides of the room and excellent natural acoustics, this still offers an opulent setting for presentations, meetings or dinners. The adjoining Chancellor’s Court is the original courtroom used for student jurisdictions up to the mid-20th Century, and now acts as a private entrance hall to Convocation House or a catering space for dinners in Divinity School. 

A great space for great conversation

Bahari Room

On the first floor of the Weston Library, the Bahari room is the ideal light and airy space for your next meeting, workshop or small team away day. With built in AV, dual aspect windows and comfortable seating, you can spend half or a full day with us. There’s also the option to have food and drink service in the room from Benugo, our in house café catering company.
