The Oxford Union
The Oxford Union is an undiscovered secret in the heart of Oxford. Over the past two centuries, the union has played host to some of the world’s greatest politicians and celebrities and has frequently found itself under the media spotlight.
It would be impossible to name all the famous and influential figures who have passed through our doors – Mother Theresa, Senator Bobby Kennedy, the Dalai Lama and Michael Jackson – all have contributed to the building’s fascinating history.
The Oxford Union can offer a range of facilities, from debates for 450 to small meetings for 10.
