Conference@SaïdOxford on Film!

Conference@SaïdOxford are delighted to announce the release of their facilities on film.  Potential buyers can now view both venues via Saïd Business School’s YouTube channel.

The films aim to capture the look, space and feel of each venue, highlighting certain areas and taking the viewer on a mini journey from the moment they arrive to the post event drinks reception and dinner.  

“The films are a great addition to our website and nicely complement the current photographic images we have online.  The aim is to help buyers make an early decision about our venues and facilities, and in some cases lessening the need for show arounds as all the information is now available and easily accessible online” says Verity Donovan, Business Development Coordinator, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.

Eynsham Hall announces extensive venue refurbishment for 2015

2014 has been an incredible year for Eynsham Hall – made particularly special by its people and those who visit us for conferences, events, weddings and leisure breaks.

This year saw the start of extensive refurbishment work with 24 bedrooms being refurbished, plus work in the main hall undertaken.

This marks the start of plans to complete bedroom refurbishment work in 2015 as well as the launch of a brand new conference centre with state of the art facilities, as well as a new brasserie with a focus on locally sourced produce.

We expect to extensively increase our conferencing business over the coming three years – with our location in the Cotswolds in easy reach of London and main transport links, the facilities we will add will allow us to cater for more bespoke requirements in addition to the small and large groups we currently host for training, events and team building.

This work will culminate in a relaunch in June 2015 and a series of events for the media to explore and see first hand the new offering at Eynsham Hall.

The design led work features great attention to detail, reflecting the history and background of Eynsham Hall.  In 1904 the original house was demolished and totally rebuilt with larger rooms, designed for entertaining.

The fine oak panelling, stone fireplaces and strapwork floors bring the grand allure to life.  Mixed with contemporary talking points, the history and modern day personality mix together to make Eynsham Hall a very special place.
