Lady Margaret Hall

Built in 2010, the elegantly designed Simpkins Lee Theatre offers a distinctive background for conferences, lectures and keynote speakers. The theatre can accommodate 150 theatre style and comes with a fully equipped technical booth and sound deck. Adjoining the theatre is a function room (the Monson Room) which is available for refreshments.

The Monson Room is a large welcoming and spacious function room benefiting from natural daylight. The room opens out onto the lawn of the Lannon Quad making it a perfect conference space. The room can be used in conjunction with the Simpkins Lee Theatre providing a breakout space for refreshments and networking lunches.
The Monson Room comes equipped with its own kitchen, so our Chefs and catering team can provide a private, fine dining experience for up to 72 guests.

The Dining Hall at LMH is an impressive setting for any occasion. The high, beamed ceiling, ranks of arched windows, wooden paneling and portraits from past eras, all evoke the continuity and tradition of Oxford University. Once the tables are set for a banquet and the candles lit, food from our delicious fine dining menus is all that is needed to complete a memorable evening.

Attractive bay windows overlooking a central part of College, and generous proportions, make the Mary O’Brien Room ideal for seminars and workshops. The room can comfortably accommodate 24 delegates in a boardroom or U-shape, with plenty of space for informal conversations during coffee breaks.
The room is located near to key function rooms, Talbot Hall and The Old Library and can be a useful conference breakout space.

The Jerwood Room is 5.1m wide by 10.85m long. It is situated next to the Dining Hall in the Deneke building. It is a very good room for small groups who would like a private dining option, and can also be booked as a dedicated breakfast and lunch room in support of residential conferences.

The Committee room measures 8.4m by 4.8m. The highly polished wooden table, which comfortably seats 18, is a permanent fixture in the room and so this room is only available in a boardroom set up, although drinks receptions can be held with the table in situ. The Committee Room is reached via a corridor lined with portraits of College alumni from the past 140 years and is conveniently located close to the Dining Hall.

Previously the Junior Common Room, the Olga Pocock Room was designed as a place for undergraduate students to relax. Now re-designated as a teaching and meeting room,  the Olga Pocock room is perfect as a common room for summer school students, and as a lounge area for conference delegates. It has a central position within the College, and it can be a useful break-out room situated near to the Monson Room and Simpkins Lee Theatre. One or more of the three inter-linked rooms can also be used as a conference office, either individually or in conjunction with other uses.

The Amanda Foreman Room is 3.65m wide and 8.25m long. It comfortably seats 12 boardroom or classroom style. Wrought ironwork detailing at the windows and substantial wooden tables lend the room a formal air which makes it perfect for working meetings. However, it can be used as a flexible space and its position near the front of College and the main Pipe Partridge function rooms mean that it is often used in support of events and functions taking place in Pipe Partridge.
